About this map

Hughesville serves as the primary hub at the northern edge of this Lycoming County terrain, situated where Muncy Creek curves through a landscape of narrow valleys and ridges. The grid-like street plan of the town, featuring landmarks like Pleasant Hill Cem, transitions into a countryside defined by deep hollows such as Neufer Hollow and Michael Hollow. To the south, the topography rises into the Muncy Hills, where multiple county and municipal boundaries converge, including the meeting points of Lycoming, Northumberland, Columbia, and Montour counties.

Waterways dictate the settlement patterns throughout the quadrangle, with Little Muncy Creek passing through Frenchtown and Moreland further east. Remote burial grounds like Green Valley Cem and Saint James Cem are preserved in the hills, providing valuable points of reference for genealogical research. The southern slopes mark a significant hydrological divide, where the headwaters of W Br Chillisquaque Cr and Middle Br Chillisquaque Cr begin their descent toward the Susquehanna basin.
