1984 Map of Williamsport West

About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River carves a deep path through north-central Pennsylvania, anchoring a corridor of rail and industrial history. This mid-1980s landscape is defined by the heavy presence of Conrail lines following the river banks, connecting centers like Renovo and Lock Haven. On the southern edge of Lock Haven, Lock Haven State College and the Piper Memorial Airport stand as major local institutions, while the Cedar Hill Cem and St Marys Church offer specific points of interest for genealogical research. Massive tracts of public land, including the Sproul State Forest and Tiadaghton State Forest, dominate the high ridges. These forests protect the watersheds of the Sinnemahoning Creek and Kettle Creek, while Foster Joseph Sayers Lake and Bald Eagle State Park provide significant recreational infrastructure in the Bald Eagle Valley.
