2023 Map of Laporte

About this map

The Sullivan County Courthouse stands as the central landmark of Laporte, the smallest county seat in Pennsylvania, situated amidst a landscape defined by deep runs and high plateaus. This recent survey documents the enduring settlement patterns of the region, from the cluster of mining heritage near Mildred and Bernice to the southern hamlet of Nordmont. The area is characterized by its complex hydrology, where Loyalsock Creek and Muncy Creek drain the surrounding heights. Genealogy and local history are particularly well-represented through numerous burial grounds, including the Saint Francis of Assisi Cem and the Bresbyterian Cem. Recreational and natural features like Mokoma Lake and the Cranberry Swamp highlight the balance between the historic small-town centers and the preserved wilderness of the Endless Mountains region.
