About this map

Wappasening Creek winds through the hills of northern Bradford County, defining a landscape of narrow valleys and rural upland settlements during the mid-1960s. The map illustrates a community centered on small crossroads and agricultural hamlets like Windham Center and West Windham, where life revolved around local institutions such as the Windham Sch and the Union Valley Ch. The terrain is deeply etched by watercourses including Cold Brook and Babcock Run, which feed into the larger creek systems.

Social history is preserved in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the townships, from the Windham Cem in the north to the Orwell Valley Cem further south. The inclusion of State Game Lands No 219 near West Warren indicates the era's shift toward protected recreation and conservation. Genealogists can trace family footprints through named landmarks like Bixby Corner and Owl Hollow, while industrial researchers will find a Quarry located near the banks of Lake Nadine.
