1946 Map of Tunkhannock

About this map

Tunkhannock serves as the focal point of this Pennsylvania landscape, situated at the dramatic bend where Tunkhannock Creek meets the Susquehanna River. The mapping documents the transition of the mid-20th century, showing the established Lehigh Valley railroad line following the riverbank while the Roosevelt Highway cuts through the northern hills. Beyond the village center, the terrain is defined by family-named landmarks like Valentine Hill and Shupp Hill, alongside numerous water bodies such as Lake Carey and Oxbow Lake. Local heritage is preserved through the inclusion of rural gathering places like Marcy Ch and schools including Eatonville Sch and Castle Sch. The presence of Skyhaven Landing Field near the river and the Dixon gauging station highlights the area's mixed transportation and utility infrastructure during this era.
