2023 Map of Colley

About this map

Wilmot and Cumiskey anchor the northern landscape of this region, where the county line separates Bradford Co and Sullivan Co. The terrain is defined by a series of steep drainages including the North Branch Mehoopany Creek and Little Loyalsock Creek, creating a complex network of ridges like Tyler Mountain. This area is particularly rich for genealogical research, as evidenced by numerous family-named and local burial grounds like Norconk Cem and Cummiskey Cem. Rural life is centered around these small settlements and historic congregational sites such as Saint Johns Lutheran Cem and Old Zion Lutheran Cem. The map reveals a persistent pattern of highland farming and forestry roads, with Saxe Pond and Crane Swamp serving as significant natural water features amidst the upland woods.
