2010 Map of Canton

About this map

Canton serves as the central hub for this portion of Bradford County, where the valley floor of Towanda Creek meets the rising slopes of Alba Mountain. This modern 2010 survey illustrates a landscape of established rural settlements and agricultural corridors, with many roads still bearing family names like Kelley Rd and McMurray Rd. The area's character is defined by its small villages and rural hamlets, including Alba, Minnequa, and East Canton, often centered around natural water sources like Mill Creek and Beech Flats Creek. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, including Park Cemetery and Saint Michaels Cemetery near the main town center, and Beech Flats Cemetery to the east. Recreational features like Lake Nephawin and the Lambs Hill Picnic Area reflect the community's use of the local terrain, while the Sugar Creek Dam at the northern edge points to modern water management in the Sugar Creek watershed.
