About this map

Sugar Creek winds through the southern reaches of this Bradford County landscape, where the rural settlements of East Troy and West Burlington anchor a network of family-named crossroads and farming communities. The terrain is defined by the prominent height of Mt Pisgah and the numerous drainages such as Leonard Creek and Tomjack Creek that carve the upland plateau. In the northern section, East Smithfield serves as a local hub, complete with its High Sch and nearby Ayers Crossroads.

A strong genealogical record is preserved across the townships of Springfield, Smithfield, and West Burlington, evidenced by a high density of small burial grounds. From the Westbrook Cem in the west to the Turnpike Cem in the east, these landmarks, along with places like Bourne Mills and Harkness, reflect the mid-century settlement patterns of Pennsylvania's northern tier. The inclusion of the Roosevelt Highway tracing the path of Sugar Creek illustrates the primary transportation corridor connecting these isolated valleys.
