About this map

Bloomsburg dominates this area of Columbia County, where the historic town center and the State Teachers College campus sit just north of the Susquehanna River. The landscape follows the winding path of Fishing Creek, which descends through Pleasant Valley and turns south between Turkey Hill and the community of Light Street. This corridor shows a mix of educational infrastructure, industry at Paper Mill, and recreational spaces like Camp Creasy.

Smaller hamlets and landmarks dot the surrounding ridges and valleys, including Welliversville to the north and Almedia to the southeast. Local genealogy is well-represented through numerous sites such as Ikeler Ch, Canby Ch, and the New Rosemont Cemetery. The convergence of river, rail, and road networks at Fernville and Buckhorn illustrates the enduring importance of this region as a transportation and commercial hub in central Pennsylvania.
