About this map

Lewisburg and its storied educational and industrial landscape anchor this 2010 survey of Union County. The campus of Bucknell University dominates the eastern bend of the West Branch Susquehanna River, featuring the Art Barn Complex and the Bucknell University Golf Course. The map details a transition from the dense street grids of the borough to the fertile agricultural expanses of Buffalo Valley, where numerous family-named roads like Hoffa Mill Rd and Dreisbach Church Rd trace old farmstead lines.

Several historic burial grounds, including Union Church Cemetery and Stoltzfus Cemetery, provide vital data for genealogists tracking early settlers. To the north, the Northeast Federal Penitentiary and Lewisburg Airfield represent modern institutional footprints, while the southern terrain rises toward the wooded ridges of Shamokin Mountain and New Berlin Mountain. The hydrology is particularly intricate, with Turtle Creek, Limestone Run, and the Mill Race cutting through the valley floor toward the river.
