I need to show councils with disbanded lodges that either rechartered with a new name OR merged into a council with existing lodge. I also need to correct boundary for SW Warren Co. when re-drawing maps for Region 3.

Mercer County Council, located in northwestern Pennsylvania, also included the small community of Brookfield Township right across the border in Ohio. All region and council maps that I have seen prior to the 1973 Six Regions depict the Ohio-Penna. border as a region boundary. The most significant map of this era was in 1965, and did not include Ohio. However, research and maps of Region 3 published by Neal Bronder include that small part of Ohio.
- Between 1953 and 1954, Area 3-A experienced several realignments. First, Nentico 12 and the Virginia lodges split off to became Area 3-C by 1953:

- In 1969, Pohopoco 44 merged with two lodges in Area 3-D, Ah-Pace 58 and Tunkhannock 476, to form Witauchsoman Lodge #44 in 3-D. In 1971, Memeu 125 from 3-D merged with Minsi 5 to form Kittatinny Lodge #5.
