About this map

The Susquehanna River and its major tributary Fishing Creek define the geography of this central Pennsylvania landscape. At the southern edge, the city of Bloomsburg serves as a prominent hub, anchored by the Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania and surrounded by smaller communities like Fernville, Espy, and Almedia. The map captures a transition from the urbanized river valley to the ridgelines of Knob Mountain and Summer Hill to the east.

Upland settlements such as Orangeville, Light Street, and Mordansville are connected by a network of rural roads like Rohrsburg Road and Millertown Road. Local history is preserved in sites like the McHenry Cemetery and Laurel Hill Cemetery, while the presence of Paper Mill and the Bowman Bridge suggests the enduring industrial and infrastructure history of the region's waterways. To the north, the terrain softens into the Greenwood Valley, where smaller runs like Mud Run and Green Creek weave through the hillsides.
