About this map

Highland ridges and deep creek valleys define this rural landscape on the Pennsylvania New York Boundary Line just before World War II. The Pennsylvania railroad line serves as a central artery through the eastern portion of the map, connecting communities like Gillett, Snedekerville, and Columbia Cross Roads. The settlement pattern is characterized by scattered upland farming communities such as Coryland and Mosherville, each supported by local institutions like Wells Sch and the Armenia Ch.

Industry and transport follow the natural geography, with the Roosevelt Highway cutting through the southern hills near Sylvania. Local history is preserved in small family and community landmarks, including Miller Cem and Seely Hill Cem. From the drainage of Seeley Creek in the north to the headwaters of Sugar Creek in the south, the map reveals a network of one-room schoolhouses like Pumpkin Hill Sch that anchored these remote Bradford and Tioga County townships.
