About this map

Freeport sits at the vital confluence of the Allegheny River and the Kiskiminetas River, serving as a historic hub for river and rail transportation. This modern survey illustrates the industrial and residential development along these waterways, highlighting the critical junction at Kiskiminetas Junction and the presence of Dam Number Five. Away from the riverbanks, the terrain is dotted with small settlements like Leasureville, Harbison, and Birdville, while the landscape is punctuated by several local golf courses and cemeteries, including Brookland Cemetery and Saint Marys Cemetery.

The map reveals the area's aviation infrastructure with Lindsay Airport in the north and Heineman Airport near Sligo. These features, alongside the dense network of township roads such as Freeport Rd and Monroe Rd, indicate a region defined by its connectivity. Local history researchers can trace the footprint of older river crossings like Garvers Ferry and unique riverside features like Murphys Island and Murphys Bottom.
