About this map

Wyalusing Cr and its various branches serve as the geographic focal point for this section of Susquehanna County, where small agricultural settlements have long followed the valley floors. At the confluence of the north and main branches lies Lawton, a primary crossroads connecting the rural township. Moving east toward Rush, the landscape is defined by the winding path of Elk Lake Stream and Deer Lick Cr, while the northern reaches transition into the highlands around Birchardville.

The distribution of family names on secondary roads, such as Mrs Brozonis and Bob Keifer Rd, highlights a landscape still deeply tied to multi-generational land ownership and local farming. Elevated features like Devine Ridge and Fowler Hill separate the various creek basins, illustrating the physical constraints that dictated early road placement and settlement patterns at Parks Crossroad and Rushville.
