1957 Map of Troy

About this map

Sugar Creek winds through the heart of this Bradford County landscape, where the borough of Troy serves as a central hub for the surrounding dairy and farming country. The map illustrates a developed mid-century infrastructure, with the Penn Central railroad following the valley floor and the Roosevelt Highway connecting the smaller settlements of Sylvania and Columbia Cross Roads. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the high ground of Armenia Mountain, featuring the unique ecological pocket of Tamarack Swamp. Local genealogy is well-supported by numerous family-named burial grounds, including the Bentley Cem and Grover Hill Cem, which dot the hillsides of Springfield and Columbia townships. The inclusion of Alparon Park and several local schools like Lloyd Sch highlights the established community centers of the era.
