2019 Map of Litchfield

About this map

Litchfield serves as the central hub of this Pennsylvania and New York borderland, where the terrain shifts from the Susquehanna River valley to the elevated reaches of Orange Hill. The landscape is defined by a series of south-flowing drainage systems, including Satterlee Cr, Parks Cr, and Spaulding Cr, which have shaped the settlement patterns of rural hamlets like Vawter and Bumpville. This survey provides significant genealogical value, documenting numerous small burial sites such as the Rossi Family Cem, Merrill Family Cem, and the Trinket Old Cem near North Ghent. In the western portion of the sheet, the transition from the river bottom at East Athens toward the hills is marked by the Lars/Private Airport, illustrating the modern utility of these traditional upland farmsteads.
