About this map

The Susquehanna River defines the southern reach of this Tioga County landscape, where the settlements of Barton, Smithboro, and Nichols sit near the river's edge. The terrain is marked by steep ridges and valleys, including Diamond Valley, Frost Hollow, and notable heights like Prospect Hill and Ross Hill. The distribution of historical burial sites throughout these uplands and riverside plains offers a clear view of the area's development, with sites such as North Barton Cem and Beaver Meadows Cem serving as key genealogical anchors.

Industrial and transport history is visible in the network of rural roads such as Frost Hollow Rd and Halsey Valley Rd, which connect the scattered hamlets of Glencairn and Ellistown to the river corridor. Small watercourses like Miami Cr and Ellis Brook drain the northern hills into the main river channel, where landforms like Hoopers Valley Island interrupt the flow. This documentation provides a record of the community's ecclesiastical roots through landmarks like Emory Chapel Cem and Barton Methodist Church Cem.
