About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River serves as the dominant eastern boundary for this Union County landscape, where the valley floor transitions into the steep elevations of Nittany Mountain and South White Deer Ridge. This contemporary survey illustrates a deeply rooted rural community, where the settlement patterns at Allenwood and Kelly Crossroads are still defined by historic transportation corridors like the Susquehanna River Water Trail and White Deer Pike.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local history through the numerous burial grounds and family markers, including the Brown Gravesite and the White Deer Baptist Church Cem. The terrain is characterized by the convergence of several waterways, including White Deer Hole Creek and Little Buffalo Creek, which feed into the primary river system. Land management is visible through the State Gameland Rd and protected water resources like the Spruce Run Reservoir.
