About this map

Miller Mountain and Shaver Mountain dominate the northern landscape of this region where the Susquehanna River carves a deep valley near Keelersburg and Hoban Heights. The terrain transitions from these prominent peaks down to a dense network of upland basins containing Perrins Marsh, Lake Louise, and Lake Catalpa. The settlement pattern is characterized by small crossroads communities and family-named landmarks that reflect a long history of local habitation along the Wyoming and Luzerne County border.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial grounds, including the Orange Methodist Church Cem, Keeler Cem, and Rogers Cem. The map documents the persistent rural character of Center Moreland and Vernon, where the road network follows the winding creek valleys of Mill Creek and Whitelock Creek. The inclusion of the Susquehanna River Water Trail highlights the river's enduring role as a recreational and geographic corridor.
