2010 Map of Benton

About this map

Fishing Creek and its many tributaries, including Little Fishing Creek and Green Creek, carve a landscape defined by prominent ridges and deep hollows in this northern Pennsylvania survey. Small historic hamlets like Rohrsburg, Greenwood, and Talmar are connected by a network of rural roads such as Mendenhall Hill Rd and Kessler Hollow Rd, reflecting the area's agricultural and milling roots. Local history is anchored at the Rohrsburg Cemetery and the site of Coles Mill, while the presence of the Benton Airport near Benton highlights the modern transition of the valley. Significant terrain features including Huckleberry Ridge, Bald Hill, and Bunker Hill rise above the stream beds, offering a clear view of the topographic character that shaped the settlement patterns of the township.
