2016 Map of Lopez

About this map

Lopez sits as the central hub of this Sullivan County landscape, where the waters of Loyalsock Cr and its many tributaries wind through high plateau country. The settlement pattern here is sparse but historically significant, featuring the small hamlets of Murray to the northwest and Ricketts at the southern edge. The area is defined by its complex hydrology, with numerous marshlands and water bodies such as Half Moon Swamp, Flag Marsh, and Pine Marsh dotting the high ground between Indian Ridge and Dutch Mtn. Local history and genealogy interests are anchored by sites like Saint Vladimirs Cem and the uniquely named Junk Cem near the eastern border. The network of local roads, including White Ash Rd and Dutch Mountain Rd, traces the geography of a region shaped by its upland bogs and isolated creek valleys.
