1948 Map of Tunkhannock

About this map

Tunkhannock serves as the focal point of this post-war landscape, situated along a sharp bend in the Susquehanna River where the Lehigh Valley railroad and the Roosevelt Highway converge. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Osterhout Mountain and Miller Mtn, which frame the river valley and its various tributaries including Bowman Creek and Tague Creek. To the north, the community around Lake Carey is visible, featuring St Andrews Chapel and St Andrews Camp, suggesting a developed recreation and residential area even in the 1940s.
