2016 Map of Halifax

About this map

Halifax stands as a central riverfront settlement along the eastern banks of the Susquehanna River, where it is joined by the waters of Armstrong Creek. This survey captures the corridor’s complex river geography, defined by a chain of large islands including Clemson Island, Bressler Island, and Haldeman Island. To the south, the dramatic ridge of Peters Mtn cuts across the landscape, carrying a significant portion of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail through the region. Industrial and transportation history is evident in the presence of Victoria Furnace and the landing at Montgomery Ferry further north. The map also documents smaller rural communities like New Buffalo and Fisherville, alongside local landmarks such as Zion Cem and the Tallman West Airport. The concentration of settlements along the river contrast with the steep, forested elevations of Third Mtn and Second Mountain, illustrating the enduring influence of the river valley on the region's development.
