About this map

Danville serves as a primary hub where the Susquehanna River bends south, marking the intersection of Montour and Northumberland counties. This corridor is defined by the transition from the river lowlands to the elevated terrain of Blue Hill and The Pinnacle. The landscape between Danville and Elysburg reflects a pattern of valley-floor settlements like Mechanicsville and Ridgeville following the paths of Mahoning Creek and Roaring Creek.

Genealogists can identify several burial sites including Old Saint Josephs Cem and Sharp Ridge Cem. Significant cultural landmarks are found at the southern edge of the sheet, notably Knoebels Grove and two historic spans: the Riegel Covered Bridge over S Br Roaring Cr and the Lawrence L Knoebel Covered Bridge crossing Shamokin Creek. The river itself is punctuated by distinct landforms such as Vastines Island, Reeds Island, and Clarks Island, which have long shaped local navigation and property lines.
