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:

Route numbers changed often and alignments shifted as the Department upgraded roads, and these maps help verify locations of schools, churches, etc.

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:
