Wyalusing Rocks - 1950's,

Wyalusing Rocks is yet another "sacred place" of our Native American friends. The path to the Rocks from Spanish Hill is a simple canoe ride south along the Susquehanna River.

Couldn't resist this one...!

Spanish Hill in the upper left quadrant, with the Chemung River running to the west of it.

Tozier's Bridge - this bridge runs acrossed the Chemung about a quarter of a mile south of the hill...This postacard is dated 1903.

The Narrows - (above Tioga Point )Athens, PA

This is one of the places that you could look down on the rivers joining and call it "Carantouan" - or the "Big Tree Region" because of the way the water systems look from here. Note the next shots of Tioga Point all seem to be form the same place? This is it!

Here is an actual photo I found in the Murray's photo files of a man on a buggy at the Turn of the Rocks.

And from the "Turn of the Rocks" - also called the "Narrows" - you can see the following place we call -

Tioga Point.

This is where the Chemung and the Susquehanna rivers come together - like a "Y."

And this is that same "Y"  -  I believe - Champlain drew  his map nearly 400 years ago:

Tioga Point Athens, PA

Again....

..and again!

- and again!
