About this map

Friendsville sits at the intersection of rural roads in Susquehanna County, serving as a focal point for a landscape defined by its creek valleys and upland ridges. The village is surrounded by significant historical markers, including the St Francis Cem and Choconut Chapel, which reflect the area's established community roots. To the north, the terrain rises toward the New York state line, with Apalachin Creek and Cork Hill Creek carving through the hills.

The presence of State Game Lands No 140 indicates a shift toward conservation and recreation by the mid-1960s, a transition further evidenced by youth retreats like Camp Choconut and Camp Arrowhead. Agricultural and early industrial activity is visible through scattered Quarry and Gravel Pit labels, while naming conventions like Stone Street and Bow Bridge Road provide clues to early infrastructure. Small settlements such as Little Meadows and Middletown Center anchor the corners of this upland territory.
