For those of you not from Mansfield, this is the reason you've had so few

knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who
so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by
science." Charles Darwin

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:
