About this map

Martins Creek and the surrounding drainage of Horton Creek define the geography of this Susquehanna County region, where the borough of Hop Bottom sits as a primary population center. This landscape is characterized by a high density of named heights such as Coon Hill, Round Hill, and Prospect Hill, which overlook a network of small glacial lakes and ponds including Schooley Pond, Lord Pond, and Carpenter Pond.

Rural crossroads and small settlements like Lindaville, Deckertown, and Pine Grove are connected by a winding road network, including historic routes like the Abington and Waterford Tpke. To the south, the terrain descends toward the valley of Tunkhannock Creek at the borough of Nicholson. This map captures the modern footprint of these long-established hill-country communities, showing the persistence of local family names in the landscape via features like Mulligan Hill and Thayer Hill.
