About this map

Bloomsburg anchors this Columbia County landscape, situated along the northern bank of the Susquehanna River and dominated by the expansive campus of Bloomsburg University of Pennsylvania. The town's civic heart is marked by the Columbia County Courthouse, while its periphery transitions into a mix of suburban growth and steep ridge terrain. North of the city, the landscape rises toward Knob Mountain and Turkey Hill, with Fishing Creek cutting a significant valley through the hills.

Rural life is documented through numerous named settlements like Light Street, Espy, and Greenwood Valley. A high density of family and community burial grounds, including the Old Rosemont Cem, New Rosemont Cem, and Creveling Cem, provide valuable data for genealogical research. The map also traces the industrial and social history of the area through landmarks such as the Paper Mill and country congregations like Canby Ch and Hidlay Ch.
