About this map

Glacial lakes and small rural settlements dot the rolling landscape of Susquehanna County along the New York border. This terrain is defined by its water, from the central expanse of Silver Lake and the recreational waters of Quaker Lake to smaller basins like Cranberry Lake and Lake Timberline. The survey highlights a quiet upland economy where traditional landmarks like Fisk Mill and several Quarry sites are interspersed with local social centers including St Joseph and Brackney.

Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of local institutions, such as St Augustine Ch and the Quaker Lake Cem, which anchor the small crossroads communities. The map captures the area before modern sprawling development, preserving the locations of numerous family-named landmarks like Meeker Lake and Pops Hobby Lake. The intersection of multiple townships including Choconut, Silver Lake, and Liberty illustrates the historical administrative divisions that shaped this borderland region.
