About this map

Towanda Creek and its various tributaries, including N Br Towanda Cr and Schrader Creek, carve a complex drainage system through this Bradford County landscape. The settlement pattern follows these watercourses and the local valley floors, connecting communities such as Leroy and West Franklin. Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites throughout the township, ranging from established locations like Granville Center Cem to smaller plots such as Mott Family Cem and Holcomb Cem.

South of the primary creek valley, the terrain transitions into a more upland character marked by Vroman Hill and punctuated by several bodies of water, including Mud Pond and Sunfish Pond. The southern portion of the quadrangle includes the locales of Carbon and Laquin near Little Schrader Cr, areas defined by their proximity to the waterway and numerous small runs. This detailed survey preserves the exact placement of rural roads, such as Cider Mill Rd and Page Morrison Rd, that linked these mid-20th-century agrarian and mountain communities.
