1957 Map of Ulster

About this map

The Susquehanna River defines the eastern edge of this landscape, carving the deep Sheshequin Valley where the Lehigh Valley railroad and Totem Park sit near the village of Ulster. Moving west across the high ridges, the map reveals a rural network of small settlements like Luthers Mills and East Smithfield, connected by the Roosevelt Highway as it follows the path of Sugar Creek. Notable local landmarks include a Covered Bridge near the County Memorial Park and various family-named sites such as Riggs Ch and Kendall Hill. The distribution of numerous small burial grounds, including Union Cem and Gustin Cem, reflects the long-standing agricultural foundations of Bradford County's townships during the mid-20th century. The terrain is marked by significant elevations like Lynch Hill and the recreational waters of Mountain Lake.
