1950 Map of Wharton

About this map

First Fork Sinnemahoning Creek and its complex network of mountain runs dominate this Potter County landscape. In the mid-twentieth century, the settlements of Austin and Costello are established in the northern valleys, while the village of Wharton sits at the confluence of the East Fork Sinnemahoning Cr. The geography reflects a history of timber and resource extraction, evidenced by the Splash Dam on Bailey Run and a isolated Gas Well on the eastern ridges. Local genealogy is well-served by several rural burial grounds, including Forest Hill Cem, Costello Cem, St Joseph Cem, and Wharton Cem. The map captures a transition from industrial exploitation to a more stabilized rural settlement pattern, where small schools like Reesville Sch and landmarks like Chicago Springs Road Ridge anchored the community.
