About this map

The Susquehanna River carves through the center of this landscape, separating the residential streets of East Berwick and Nescopeck. This stretch of the river is defined by several prominent islands, including Gould Island, Hess Island, and Rocky Island, which break the broad current as it flows southwesterly. The industrial and residential character of the region is evident in the transition from the dense grid of Berwick Heights and Foundryville to the more dispersed rural settlements like Zenith and Briggsville in the surrounding hills.

Transportation patterns follow the river valley, with the historic Beach Haven and Wapwallopen serving as anchor points along the banks. Narrower valleys such as Sybert Hollow and the drainage of Glen Brook cut through the local topography, leading to smaller creeks like Walker Run and Salem Cr. This survey provides a modern snapshot of a region where riverfront industry and hilltop agriculture have shaped the settlement patterns for generations.
