About this map

Jenningsville and the surrounding township of Braintrim sit along the winding Susquehanna River in this mid-century topographic record. The landscape is defined by the heavy infrastructure of the Lehigh Valley Railroad and the Roosevelt Highway following the river corridor, while the interior hills are dotted with rural landmarks essential to local genealogy. Researchers will find several scattered educational sites, including Golden Hill Sch, Sugar Hill Sch, and Grant Hill Sch, which served the farming communities of Stowell and Lovelton.

The rugged terrain of the Endless Mountains region is clear, with deep valleys like Douglas Hollow and prominent peaks such as Briskey Mtn. Water features are abundant throughout the highlands, from Sharpe Pond and Chamberlain Pd to the North Branch Mehoopany Creek. Near Forkston, the Robinson Cem provides a specific point of interest for family historians tracing early residents of Wyoming County.
