1955 Map of Sybertsville

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Nescopeck Mountain anchors the center of this mid-century Luzerne County landscape, separating the northern townships of Slocum and Dorrance from the southern valley of Sugarloaf. The 1950s terrain reveals a mix of agricultural clearings and forested ridges, where Wapwallopen Creek and Nescopeck Creek drain the high ground. Small rural hubs like Sybertsville and St Johns serve as focal points for the surrounding farmsteads, while the map records vanishing educational and religious markers such as Good Sch, Kinsey Sch, and the River Ch. A distinct local recreation and transportation network is evident, featuring a Race Track near St Johns and an Airport positioned on the level grounds north of Drums. Industrial activity is represented by scattered sites like the Quarry near Feys Grove and a Sand Pit north of Hess Mountain.
