1946 Map of Sybertsville

About this map

Nescopeck Mountain divides this region of Luzerne County, separating the southern settlements in Sugarloaf and Butler townships from the creek-valleys to the north. The landscape is dotted with early mid-century rural institutions, including a high concentration of named schoolhouses such as the Red Sch, Whitebread Sch, and Kinsey Sch. These small educational hubs, along with St James Ch, reflect the distributed nature of the farming and timber communities before mid-century consolidation.
