About this map

The West Br Susquehanna River carves a deep winding path through this central Pennsylvania landscape, anchoring several riverside settlements including Whetham, Ritchie, and Glen Union. The topography is defined by narrow runs and hollows that feed into the larger river valley, creating a complex drainage network featuring Rattlesnake Run, Hyner Run, and Lick Run. In the interior, higher elevations like Hyner Mountain and the overlook at Hyner View provide vantage points above the steep-walled Cleveland Hollow and Bear Pen Hollow.

Transport through the region is limited to narrow valley roads and several backcountry trails, such as the W Branch Lick Run Trl and Lick Run Trl. Human activity is clustered primarily along the river and at isolated clearings like Sugar Camp or the Ponderosa Airport. Named landmarks like Smokestack Hollow and Davis Cabin Hollow hint at the area's history of small-scale industry and seasonal dwellings within the dense woodland.
