1921 Map of Trout Run

About this map

Lycoming Creek and the Pennsylvania railroad corridor define the geography of this 1920s survey, where industrial legacy and mountain settlement intersect. Evidence of early manufacturing is found at Nail Factory Mtn and the nearby Falls Factory School, while the valley floor is dotted with small agricultural and milling centers like Balls Mills and Hepburnville. The rugged highlands are organized around family-named peaks and ridges such as Cochran Mtn and Hanlon Mtn, interspersed with a high density of one-room schoolhouses like Steam Mill School and Limber Bridge School. Near the southern edge, the growth of Williamsport begins to touch the rural landscape at Garden View and the expansive Wildwood Cemetery, marking the transition from the wilder reaches of Laurel Mtn to the urban center of the county seat.
