1957 Map of Troy

About this map

Troy serves as a central hub for Bradford County agriculture and commerce in the late 1950s, situated where the Pennsylvania railroad meets the Roosevelt Highway. This survey reveals a landscape of high ridges and narrow valleys, defined by the rise of Armenia Mountain to the southwest and Oak Hill to the east. The drainage pattern is complex, with waters flowing through Sugar Creek and the North Branch Pennsylvania Creek, carving deep features like Case Glen. The presence of numerous family-named cemeteries, such as Besley Cem, Fries Cem, and the Granite-Pierson Cem, indicates a deeply rooted rural population. Smaller clusters of activity are visible at Columbia Cross Roads and Austinville, while local education is anchored by the High Sch, Lloyd Sch, and Croman Sch. Near the borough center, Alparon Park and the Troy Reservoir mark the community's established infrastructure.
