About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a deep valley along the eastern edge of this landscape, defining the boundaries between the townships of Eaton, Falls, and North Moreland. This survey, based on 1940s field work with later revisions, shows the river-hugging transport corridor including the Conrail line and river-adjacent settlements like Keelersburg and Whites Ferry. Further inland, the terrain rises toward Miller Mountain and Shaver Mountain, where the land use shifts to a mix of wooded slopes and upland agricultural pockets.

Local infrastructure for rural life is well-documented, featuring several small community centers such as Center Moreland and Demunds Corners. The map identifies essential local landmarks for genealogists, including the Thurston Ch, Hunter Sch, and Forest Grove Sch. Water bodies like Perrins Marsh and Lake Catalpa punctuate the valleys, illustrating the complex drainage patterns of Bowman Creek and its tributaries across the Wyoming and Luzerne County line.
