1937 Map of Waterville

About this map

Pine Creek carves a deep path through the heart of this landscape, anchoring a series of small settlements and logging-era outposts in the Lycoming County backcountry. In the late 1930s, places like Cammal, Jersey Mills, and English Center served as vital hubs for the remote upland terrain. The presence of the CCC Camp near Waterville reflects the era's conservation efforts, while numerous upland trails like the Lebo Trail and Parker Trail suggest a region transitioning from heavy timbering toward a recreational and managed forest landscape. Local genealogy is well-represented through family-linked landmarks and several burial grounds, including the Okome Cem and Carsontown Cem. Higher elevations are defined by prominent ridges such as Chestnut Ridge and Longs Ridge, overlooking a dense network of mountain streams including Little Pine Creek and Lick Run.
