1937 Map of Waterville

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Pine Creek carves a deep, winding canyon through the heart of the Pennsylvania Wilds, defining the rugged geography of Lycoming County. This late-1930s landscape is characterized by isolated timber and mountain settlements like English Center, Cammal, and Waterville. The mapping reveals a transition from industrial exploitation to conservation, evidenced by the presence of a Fire Tower and a CCC Camp, which speak to the New Deal-era reforestation and forest fire management efforts. Extensive networks of trails and old tramways, such as the Tram, snake through the steep hollows, following watercourses like Little Pine Creek and Bonnell Run. Small rural institutions remain focal points for genealogists and local historians, including the Springer Sch, Caldwell Ch, and several family burial grounds like Okome Cem and Bluestone Cem. The terrain is divided into several townships, including Brown Township and Cummings Township, showing a dispersed pattern of mountain life during this period.
