About this map

The Susquehanna River dominates this landscape, its waters divided by a series of significant landforms including Clemson Island, Lingle Island, and Bressler Island. The river’s course is marked by the Half Falls and the prominent Girtys Notch, illustrating the geological character of the valley. Settlement patterns are tied closely to the water, with the borough of Halifax on the eastern bank and New Buffalo on the western shore.

Further inland, the map captures a network of smaller communities such as Matamoras, Powells Valley, and the site of Victoria Furnace, reflecting the region's industrial and agricultural history. Tributaries like Powells Cr, Clark Cr, and Stony Cr carve through the terrain, with the ridge line providing a vantage point at Peters Mountain Overlook. These labels offer a detailed record of local land use, from the residential streets of Waynesville to the rural crossroads at Montgomery Ferry.
