About this map

The Susquehanna River defines the landscape of this New York and Pennsylvania border region, carving a wide arc through the hills of Susquehanna and Broome counties. Along the northern bank, the settlement of Great Bend serves as a local hub, mirrored by Hallstead just across the water. The river's path is punctuated by features like Woodbridge Island and the broad Island Plain, while the surrounding upland is marked by distinct peaks including Maunatome Mountain and Smokey Mountain.

Smaller rural communities and points of interest are scattered throughout the tributary valleys, from Tingley in the west to Brushville and its namesake Brushville Lake in the east. The presence of the Susquehanna Boy Scout Camp near Lewis Corners indicates the area's continued importance for recreation and youth education. A dense network of local roads like Old Lackawanna Trl and Rose Hollow Hl provide access to the various ridges and creek valleys, such as Salt Lick Cr and Deacon Brook.
