About this map

Lewisburg and its surrounding river valley define this landscape, where the West Branch Susquehanna River meets the rolling agricultural lands of the Buffalo Valley. The borough is home to the expansive Bucknell Univ campus, while smaller settlements like Linntown, Fairville, and College Park cluster nearby. The transition from the town's dense residential grid to the rural interior is marked by hamlets such as Lochiel and Buffalo Crossroads, connected by local roads like Col John Kelly Rd and Furnace Rd.

Evidence of the region's agricultural and spiritual history is scattered throughout the countryside in the form of family and community burial grounds, including the Stoltzfus Cem and Union Church Cem. To the south, the terrain rises sharply into the ridge of Shamokin Mtn, separating the Lewisburg area from the Penns Creek corridor and the town of New Berlin. Small aviation sites like Fox Hollow Airport and Sauers-Haven Airport highlight the modern rural character of this Union County landscape.
