1923 Map of Trout Run

About this map

Lycoming Creek serves as the primary artery for travel and trade in this 1923 survey, with the Pennsylvania RR tracing its narrow valley floor. The geography is defined by a dense network of mountain ridges and deep hollows, including Narrow Mountain and Nail Factory Mtn, which separate the agricultural patches from the timbered heights. This era shows a landscape transitioned from early industry to more settled rural life, marked by a high concentration of one-room schoolhouses like the Steam Mill School, Blacks Creek School, and Falls Factory School. The mapping of small hamlets such as Salladasburg and Balls Mills provides a detailed view of Lycoming County's social geography before mid-century modernization. Distinctive landmarks such as the Lycoming Club near Green Mtn hint at the area's recreational use during the early twentieth century.
