2010 Map of Great Bend

About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a dramatic oxbow through this borderland region, defining the settlements of Great Bend and Hallstead. The landscape is characterized by a series of prominent elevations such as Maunatome Mountain and Smokey Mountain, which overlook the river valley and its associated transportation corridors. Long-established travel routes, including the Old Lackawanna Trl, follow the natural contours of the river and Salt Lick Creek, while smaller communities like Hickory Grove and Brushville occupy the higher ground to the east. The presence of Highland Cemetery and Maple Ridge Cemetery provides significant points of interest for genealogists, while the Susquehanna Boy Scout Camp near Lewis Corners highlights the area's recreational use. Notable water bodies such as Brushville Lake and East Lake further define the local geography, alongside several smaller streams including Little Egypt Creek and Deacon Brook.
