About this map

The Susquehanna River bends sharply at Catawissa, where the waters of Catawissa Creek join the main flow. This modern topographic study shows the densely developed street grid of Bloomsburg to the north, contrasted with the steep, wooded rise of Catawissa Mtn to the southeast. The landscape is a mix of urban centers and rural valleys defined by waterways like Fishing Creek and Roaring Creek.

Genealogical interest is high throughout the township, with numerous burial sites including Greenwood Cem, Quaker Cem, and McIntyre Cem scattered between settlements. Historical industry and infrastructure remain visible through the labeling of Parrs Mill and Pensyls Mill, alongside transportation hubs like the Bloomsburg Municipal Airport. The map also traces small hamlets such as Slabtown, Numidia, and Mainville, preserving the late-twentieth-century spatial organization of these Columbia County communities.
