1969 Map of Washingtonville

About this map

Chillisquaque Creek meanders through the heart of this central Pennsylvania landscape, anchoring a series of rural farming communities in the late 1960s. The village of Washingtonville serves as a local hub, featuring the DeLong Memorial Sch and sitting near the intersection of several regional streams including Mud Creek and the West Branch. The terrain is defined by prominent ridges such as Limestone Ridge, while the lowlands support a network of small settlements like Strawberry Ridge, Limestoneville, and Exchange. Cultural life is marked by numerous country churches and cemeteries, including St James Ch and the Beaver Run Cem. Later updates to the survey reveal industrial developments, specifically a large Powerplant and gaging stations, reflecting the evolving infrastructure and energy needs of the region while traditional features like a Covered Bridge remained over the creek.
