About this map

The Wyalusing Creek drainage system defines the landscape of Susquehanna County in this detailed record of the northern Pennsylvania highlands. The terrain is a network of ridges and narrow valleys where the North, Middle, and East branches of the creek converge near Lawton and Rush. These small settlements, along with Middletown Center and Birchardville, serve as the primary nodes of a rural road network that follows the winding creek beds and crests over high points like Devine Ridge and Fowler Hill.

Genealogists will find several well-documented burial sites including Steadwell Cemetery, Saint Johns Cemetery, and the East Rush Cemetery. The map also captures the placement of community landmarks like Rush Center Memorial Park and small crossroads such as Parks Crossroad and Angle Corners. The presence of numerous family-named roads, like Dr Miller Rd and Hugh Bunnell Rd, reflects the deep-rooted agricultural history of the township.
