1994 Map of Clifford

About this map

The steep topography of Elk Hill and East Mountain dominates this portion of the Pennsylvania landscape, where the headwaters of Tunkhannock Creek carve through the narrow valleys of Susquehanna and Lackawanna counties. The settlement pattern here is deeply rooted in the 19th-century borough of Dundaff and the village of Clifford, which serve as historic anchors for the surrounding rural roads. Local history and genealogy are well-represented through numerous burial grounds, including Lyons Street Cem and Burdick Cem, alongside rural landmarks like Welch Hill Ch. The map highlights a transition from traditional agriculture and small-town centers to recreational and utility development, as seen in the proximity of Crystal Lake to modern infrastructure like the Radio Tower atop South Knob and the Carbondale-Clifford Airport.
