2023 Map of Lawton

About this map

Lawton sits at the convergence of vital waterways in this rural Susquehanna County landscape, where the North Branch Wyalusing Creek and Middle Branch Wyalusing Creek meet. This modern survey reflects a deeply established agricultural and residential pattern, characterized by numerous family-named hills and cemeteries that date back generations. Settlements like Rush, Birchardville, and Rushville remain centers of local activity, connected by a network of winding roads such as State Rte 4017 and Pennsylvania Ave. The map identifies several historical burial sites including Saint Patricks Cem and County Home Cem, providing essential data for genealogical research. Small bodies of water like Rigsby Pond and the winding course of Elk Lake Stream define the valleys, while upland areas like Devine Ridge and Fowler Hill illustrate the region's characteristic elevation changes.
