1946 Map of Tunkhannock

About this map

Tunkhannock sits at the confluence of the Susquehanna River and Tunkhannock Creek, serving as a central hub for the valley's mid-century transport network. In the 1940s, this region of Northeastern Pennsylvania was defined by its dual rail systems, with the Lehigh Valley Railroad tracking the river and the Delaware Lackawanna & Western RR serving Nicholson and Factoryville Sta. The landscape is dotted with numerous small settlements and family-named hills, such as Avery Hill and Jennings Hill, reflecting a deep genealogical footprint in the townships of Springville and Lathrop.
