About this map

The West Br Susquehanna River carves a deep valley through this portion of Clinton County, serving as the central artery for the small riverside settlements of Farrandsville, Riverview, Ferney, and East Ferney. The landscape is defined by its dramatic relief, where countless small tributaries like Whisky Run, McCloskey Run, and Saltsman Run have eroded the plateau into a complex network of hollows. These secluded drainages, such as Tinsmith Hollow, Bear Wallow Hollow, and Buckhorn Hollow, often preserve the names of early local activities and natural landmarks like Round Top.

Modern infrastructure follows the ancient river path, with Farrandsville Rd and various service lanes skirting the shoreline. Higher elevations are accessible via a labyrinth of trails, including the Big Springs Trl, Dark Hollow Trl, and Boiler Maker Trl, which indicate a land primarily utilized for timbering and recreation. The proximity of the North Fork Tangascootack Cr further illustrates the rugged drainage patterns that historically dictated the placement of small mountain communities.
