About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River defines the eastern edge of this region, where the historic borough of Lewisburg serves as the seat of local government at the Union County Courthouse. The campus of Bucknell University sits prominently at the edge of town, overlooking a landscape where the urban grid of College Park and Linntown transitions into the fertile agricultural stretches of the Buffalo Valley.

Further west, the terrain rises into the wooded slopes of Shamokin Mtn, providing a stark contrast to the valley floor's network of small settlements like Buffalo Crossroads and Mazeppa. Genealogists will find significant value in the distribution of family and community burial grounds, including Mazeppa Union Church Cem East and the Luntz Cem. The map also captures local infrastructure such as Fox Hollow Airport and the meandering paths of Turtle Cr and Penns Creek as they flow toward the Susquehanna.
