About this map

Snake Creek dictates the geography of this borderland region, winding northward through the valley from Franklin Forks toward the Susquehanna River. This 2016 survey documents the rural character of Susquehanna County, Pennsylvania, and its transition into Broome County, New York. Small hubs like Lawsville Center and Brookdale are connected by a dense network of country roads named for the families and terrain they traverse, including Howard Hill Rd and Barbour Hill Rd.

The landscape is punctuated by numerous water bodies such as Mingo Lake, Bel-Air Lake, and the DuBois Reservoir. Natural landmarks like Stonecrop Hill and Roundtop rise above the drainage basins of Silver Cr and Fall Brook. The presence of Salt Springs suggests the unique hydrogeological features that once drew attention to this area, while scattered settlements like Stanfordville continue to mark the historic intersections of the valley floor.
