1967 Map of Towanda

About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a deep valley through Bradford County, anchoring a landscape defined by riverside settlements and narrow upland runs. The community of Towanda serves as the regional hub, showing a concentrated street grid that includes the High School, Morrow Sch, and the St Agnes Sch. Industrial footprints are evident in the numerous Gravel Pits and the Quarry near Quarry Glen, while the Conrail line tracks the river's western bank. Beyond the river flats, the terrain rises into the hills of Sheshequin and Wysox townships, where older rural patterns persist at Ghent and Myersburg. Notable landmarks like Lake Wesauking and the Fairgrounds near South Towanda suggest a mix of recreational and agricultural utility that characterized this part of Pennsylvania during the mid-to-late 20th century.
