About this map

Brackney and the surrounding borderlands of the Southern Tier and Endless Mountains are defined by a high concentration of named glacial lakes and winding creek valleys. This landscape, straddling the New York Pennsylvania state line, features a network of rural settlements including Choconut and Saint Joseph, connected by historic routes like State Rte 4002. The mapping detail captures several local landmarks essential for genealogical research, such as Brackney Cem and Quaker Lake Cem.

Watersheds including Little Snake Cr, Choconut Cr, and Silver Cr carve through the terrain, leading toward significant water bodies like Silver Lake, Forest Lake, and Quaker Lake. To the south, the terrain drops into Dark Hollow near the community of Fisk Mill. The dense grouping of private lakes—such as Lake Sophia, Lake Marge, and Pops Hobby Lake—illustrates a pattern of recreational development and summer residency that has shaped the character of Susquehanna Co for generations.
