About this map

Loyalsock Creek carves a deep path through the highlands of Lycoming County, defining a landscape of isolated hollows and scattered upland farms in the early 20th century. The settlement at Montoursville anchors the southern valley, while smaller communities like Proctor and Barbours are tucked into the steep drainages of Plunketts Creek. The presence of Coal Mine Hollow and the Fire Tower on Tar Kiln Ridge highlights the regional reliance on natural resources and forestry management during this era.

Local life is recorded through an extensive network of country institutions, including the Christian Hill Sch and Mt Zion Ch near Warrensville. Along the Lycoming Creek corridor to the west, the Pennsylvania RR services the villages of Bodines and Marsh Hill. This detailed topographical survey also identifies the County Farm and dozens of family-named schools, such as Baier Sch and Baxter Sch, which have since faded from most modern registers.
