1969 Map of Wellsburg

About this map

The Chemung River corridor defines this late 1960s landscape, serving as the primary artery for both transportation and settlement. The village of Wellsburg and the hamlet of Lowman sit along the river's banks, connected by the Erie-Lackawanna railroad line. To the north, the terrain rises sharply into a series of ridges and hollows, such as Shoemaker Mountain and Hugg Hollow, which separate small upland communities like North Chemung and Wacombers Corners.
