About this map

The Susquehanna River cuts across the southeastern corner of this landscape, anchoring the settlement of Ouaquaga where the Ouaquaga Post Office stands near the riverbank. The terrain is defined by the prominent Belden Hill, which overlooks a mix of residential areas like Country Manor and recreational spaces such as the Belden Hill Golf Course. A network of smaller waterways, including Belden Brook, Sage Creek, and Still Creek, drains the rolling landscape toward the river.

Genealogists and local historians will find several burial sites preserved here, including the New Ohio Cemetery, Pratts Cemetery, and Coles Hill Cemetery. The map documents established communities like Harpursville and North Colesville, alongside smaller localities such as Tunnel and New Ohio. The distribution of these settlements reflects the historical transition from early river-and-creek-side life to modern rural developments like Creekside Village and Windy Hill Farms.
