About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River carves a deep valley through this portion of Clinton County, Pennsylvania, dictating the development of riverside settlements like Farrandsville and Riverview. These communities are bound to the riverbanks by the winding Renovo Rd, while the surrounding terrain is dominated by a dense network of hollows and ridges. Named drainages such as Tangascootack Creek and Lick Run feed into the main river, creating a landscape historically defined by forestry and extraction. Evidence of past industrial activity persists in road names like Clay Mine Rd near the eastern edge of the survey.

Inland from the river, the terrain rises sharply toward landmarks like Round Top. The upland areas are accessible via a complex system of forestry tracks including Mill Run Trl and Big Springs Trl, which navigate between deeply etched features like Bear Wallow Hollow and Tinsmith Hollow. Smaller settlements like Ferney and East Ferney sit at the confluence of these upland runs and the Susquehanna valley, serving as historic touchpoints for the region's rural and industrial character.
