1944 Map of Williamson

About this map

The West Branch Conococheague Creek snakes through the heart of Franklin County, Pennsylvania, in this mid-century portrait of a rural landscape defined by its waterways and small farm settlements. In the townships of Peters, Antrim, and Montgomery, the map reveals a high density of local institutions, including six named schools such as Rising Sun Sch and Paradise Sch. The winding course of the creek is joined by Back Creek and Licking Creek, creating a complex drainage pattern that influenced the locations of villages like Williamson and Lemasters.
