About this map

Towanda Creek carves a central valley through this section of Bradford County, anchoring a series of small settlements including Leroy and West Franklin. The landscape transitions sharply from these agricultural valley floors to the high, wooded slopes of Barclay Mountain to the south. This upland area is defined by a different character of land use, marked by former industrial and mining sites at Carbon and Laquin along Schrader Creek.

For those tracing local family history, the map preserves the locations of numerous small burial grounds, such as the Mott Family Cem, Holcomb Cem, and the Granville Center Cem further north. The infrastructure of the southern plateau, including the Carbon Field-Br Grade Trl and various mountain runs like Sunfish Pond and Mud Pond, highlights the region's history of resource extraction and its eventual return to a more secluded, wilderness state.
