About this map

The W Br Susquehanna River defines the eastern edge of this Central Pennsylvania landscape, where the borough of Lewisburg serves as a collegiate and cultural hub. The presence of Bucknell University and its sprawling Bucknell University Golf Course anchors the riverfront, while the Art Barn Complex highlights the local academic influence. Moving west from the river, the terrain transitions into the agricultural valleys of Buffalo Valley, dotted with historic crossroads and smaller settlements like Linntown, Lochiel, and Buffalo Crossroads.

Strategic infrastructure and geography shape the northern and southern reaches of the map. To the north, the Northeast Federal Penitentiary stands near Kelly Point, while Fox Hollow Airport provides local aviation access. The southern half of the quadrangle is dominated by the steep ridge of Shamokin Mountain, which separates the northern valley from the winding path of Penns Cr and the town of New Berlin. Numerous smaller waterways, including Turtle Cr and Limestone Run, carve through the valleys, supporting a network of rural roads such as Col John Kelly Rd and Dreisbach Church Rd.
