About this map

The Cowanesque River and Tioga River converge at the northern border of Pennsylvania, where the town of Lawrenceville sits just below the New York state line. This 1969 revision of the landscape shows a region defined by its river valleys and the transportation networks that follow them. The Penn Central railroad tracks parallel the water, connecting settlements such as Nelson, Tompkins, and Tioga.

Upland features like Farmington Hill and the Elkhorn ridge provide a vertical contrast to the low-lying basin of Crooked Creek. Local history is preserved in several burial grounds, including Nelson Cem and Dailey Cem, along with the Tompkins Ch. The presence of the Erie-Lackawanna rail line and various pumping stations near Hammond and Stephenhouse reflect the industrial and utility infrastructure that supported these Tioga County communities during the mid-20th century.
