About this map

Tunkhannock serves as the focal point of this mid-century survey, situated at a major bend in the Susquehanna River where it meets Billings Creek. The landscape transitions from the river flats to the high elevations of Osterhout Mountain and Avery Mtn, illustrating the difficult topography that shaped local development. Transportation networks are prominent, featuring the Conrail railroad line and the Roosevelt Highway threading through the river valley.

Smaller rural hubs like Eatonville and Dixon appear with their respective schools and cemeteries, such as the Eatonville Sch and Dixon Cem. To the north, the recreational and residential character of Lake Carey is established, while aviation interests are represented by the Skyhaven Landing Field. The map also captures several local industrial and social landmarks, from the Miller Mill in the south to the St Andrews Camp and Marcy Ch further north, providing a clear record of Wyoming County's community infrastructure.
