About this map

Wyalusing Creek serves as the central geographic corridor for this part of Susquehanna County, where the settlements of Lawton and Rush sit at the confluence of several vital water branches. The landscape is defined by its dendritic drainage system, including the Middle Br Wyalusing Cr and East Branch Wyalusing Creek, which have carved deep valleys between prominent rises like Devine Ridge.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites scattered across the township, ranging from family-named locations like Flynn Cem and Fowler Hill Cem to the County Home Cem. The road network, including Pennsylvania Ave and State Rte 3023, connects smaller hamlets such as Birchardville and Rushville to the rural intersections of Parks Crossroad. This 2019 survey documents a region that maintains its traditional rural character, centered on agricultural valleys and upland ridges near the border of Bradford Co and Susquehanna Co.
