2023 Map of Catawissa

About this map

The Susquehanna River and Catawissa Creek converge in this river valley landscape, anchoring the borough of Catawissa and the southern edge of Bloomsburg. This area preserves a dense record of early German and Quaker settlement, evidenced by a high concentration of denominational cemeteries and churches such as the Roaring Creek Quaker Cem and Hillside Lutheran Church. The terrain is defined by the steep rise of Catawissa Mountain and Mount Zion, which separate the river flats from the agricultural highlands to the south. Local industry and early infrastructure are grounded in labels for Parrs Mill and Pensyls Mill along Roaring Creek, while modern aviation is represented by the Bloomsburg Municipal Airport and the smaller Broadt Personal Use Airport. Numerous small crossroads communities like Numidia, Slabtown, and Newlin dot the southern half of the map, connected by a network of rural routes and the Fire Tower Rd.
