About this map

Mehoopany Creek and its many tributaries, including Stony Brook and Somer Brook, carve a complex drainage pattern through this highland region where Sullivan and Wyoming counties meet. The settlement of Bellasylva serves as a local landmark in the northwest, near the Loyalsock Creek headwaters. The map reveals a landscape defined by significant wetland areas such as Crane Swamp, Tamarack Swamp, and Coalbed Swamp, indicating a high-altitude plateau environment.

Evidence of early local families and small communities is preserved in the location of the Junk Cemetery and Fincke Cemetery. Topographical features like Dutch Mountain, Flat Top, and The Stack dominate the terrain, while narrow corridors like Windy Valley Road follow the natural contours of the valley floors. The presence of Schmitthenner Lake and various brooks suggests a geography heavily shaped by its water network and conservation-minded land use.
