About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a central path through this landscape, defining the boundaries between Berwick and its neighbors. Several river features, such as Hess Island, Rocky Island, and Gould Island, are clearly delineated, as is the sharp bend at Bell Bend. The settlement pattern follows the river's course, with established street grids in Berwick and Nescopeck transitioning into upland communities like Berwick Heights and Foundryville.

Local history and genealogy are well-served by the density of documented burial sites, including Pine Grove Cem, Forest Lawn Cem, and Saint James Lutheran Church Cem. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward Lee Mtn, while Nescopeck Mtn dominates the southern reaches. The map captures the complex network of rural routes and watercourses, from Nescopeck Creek to the smaller Walker Run, that supported the region's development during the early 21st century.
