About this map

Le Raysville serves as the central hub for this corner of Bradford and Susquehanna counties, surrounded by a landscape of high ridges and deep creek hollows. The rural character of the late 1960s is preserved through the density of family-named corners and landmarks, such as Stone House Corner, Conklin Corners, and Chaffee Corners. Educational and spiritual centers like the Northeast Bradford High Sch and St Matthews Ch anchor the dispersed communities of East Herrick and Stevensville.

The terrain is defined by a network of upland ponds and drainage systems, including Leisure Lakes, Rockwell Pond, and Zion Heights Pond. The prevalence of small, named water bodies and local roads like Ford Street suggests a settled agricultural region with established property lines and community infrastructure. In the southeast, the Giffin Landing Strip and various quarries indicate localized industry and transportation adaptations within the winding valleys of Rockwell Creek and Williams Creek.
