About this map

The Kiskiminetas River carves a prominent loop through this landscape, anchoring the borough of Avonmore and nearby settlements like Salina and Edmon. This 2013 topographic survey documents a region defined by its complex network of small runs and creeks, including Roaring Run, Whisky Run, and Blacklegs Cr, which follow narrow valleys between established communities.

Upland areas are dotted with long-standing locales such as Spring Church, Shady Plain, and Elders Ridge, connected by a web of rural roads named for local families and landmarks. The eastern portion of the map is shaped by drainage into Harpers Run, near the community of Iselin. For researchers, the map provides a clear look at the proximity of small settlements like Foster, Nowrytown, and Hicksville, reflecting the historical settlement patterns along the river valley and its tributary ridges.
