About this map

The Susquehanna River cuts through the northwest corner of this Bradford County landscape, where the Sayre Hill topography gives way to a network of upland drainages. Small rural settlements like Litchfield, Bumpville, and North Ghent are connected by a web of named backroads, including Orange Hill Rd and Campbell Rd. The presence of the Township Sch and several family or community burial grounds, such as the Orange Hill Cem and Bumpville Cem, indicates a well-established social fabric in the mid-1960s.

Industrial activity is noted through scattered quarries and a Gravel Pit, while the agricultural character is preserved in place names like Cottons Corners. Numerous waterways, including Sackett Creek and Satterlee Creek, carve through the hills towards the river. This survey captures a moment when local infrastructure, from the Sayre Reservoir to the Sheshequin Valley Cem, served a quiet, dispersed population along the Pennsylvania-New York border.
