1948 Map of Tunkhannock

About this map

Tunkhannock serves as the central hub of this Wyoming County landscape, situated along a prominent bend in the Susquehanna River. In the late 1940s, the area's infrastructure was defined by the Lehigh Valley railroad and the Roosevelt Highway, which supported small communities like Eatonville and Lake Carey. The terrain is marked by significant elevations such as Osterhout Mountain and Miller Mtn, while the river valley contains vital transit and aviation markers like the Airway Beacon and Skyhaven Landing Field. Local life is further documented through numerous landmarks including Sunnyside Cemetery, Eatonville School, and rural post offices like Osterhout PO. The map captures a moment when small railroad stations such as La Grange Station still linked these river settlements to the wider region, and recreational spots like St Andrews Camp and the waters of Oxbow Lake provided community focal points.
