1946 Map of Sweet Valley

About this map

Mountain Springs and the surrounding highlands of North Mountain define the northern reaches of this Luzerne County landscape. This 1946 field-checked survey reveals a mid-century rural network where small settlements like Kyttle and Sweet Valley serve as anchors for a community of mountain churches and schools. Local history is deeply etched into the terrain through features like the Splash Dam on Bowman Creek and the numerous small cemeteries, including Leteer Cem and Moore Cem, that dot the hillsides between Ross and Fairmount townships.
