knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who

Hi Joyce,
Your Tri-Counties site is terrific, and often the best source for obscure
pictures and information about the small towns that dot Tioga & Bradford
Counties.
PennDOT has historic county maps online here:

Historic county maps that may interest you are

From http://www.dot.state.pa.us/Internet/Bureaus/pdPlanRes.nsf/infoBPRHistoricCountyMaps
Route numbers changed often and alignments shifted as the Department
upgraded roads, and these maps help verify locations of schools, churches,
etc.
Enjoy,

Joyce,
I also remembered an additional source of historic maps that would also
include NY: http://historical.mytopo.com/
For example, here’s a 1902 map showing Lawrence Twp. in Tioga County
and others south:
