About this map

The boundary between Susquehanna County and Lackawanna County bisects this landscape of ridges and valleys in the Endless Mountains region. The settlement of Clifford sits at a crossroads near the East Branch Tunkhannock Creek, surrounded by several burial sites including Willow View Cemetery and Clifford Cemetery. To the north, Elk Hill rises as a dominant geographic landmark, flanked by the residential pockets of Elkdale and the high-elevation rural roads of Herrick Ridge.

Water plays a central role in the local geography, from the recreational shores of Crystal Lake and Lake Idlewild to the drainages of Dundaff Creek and the East Branch Tunkhannock Creek. Small settlements like Dundaff, West Clifford, and Royal are connected by a network of state routes and township roads, while Cosklos Elkview Airport provides a modern aeronautical touchpoint for the rural community.
