1937 Map of Waterville

About this map

Pine Creek carves a deep valley through the high plateaus of Lycoming County, forming the central corridor for the New York Central railroad and the timber-era settlements that line its banks. The 1937 survey reveals a landscape where the river and its tributaries, such as Little Pine Creek and English Run, dictated the placement of small communities like English Center, Waterville, and Cammal. The map identifies numerous family-named hollows and ridges, providing a clear view of the rural upland life before modern forest management changed the region's character.
