About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a wide path through this portion of Columbia County, serving as the historical and geographic anchor for settlements like Berwick, Mifflinville, and Almedia. The river's influence is seen in the placement of French Island and the proximity of the rail and road corridors that follow its banks. Further north, the landscape transitions into the steep ridges of Huntington Mtn and Knob Mtn, separated by the drainage of Huntington Creek. This area is characterized by smaller crossroads and hillside hamlets such as Jonestown, Evansville, and Fowlersville.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high concentration of burial sites in the northeastern corner near Martzville, including the Saint Marys Cem, Russian Orthodox Cem, and Greek Catholic Cem. These specialized cemeteries reflect the cultural and religious diversity of the industrial labor force in the Berwick area. Along the southern slopes, small aviation history is noted at Seesholtz Airport, while the legacy of early local industry is preserved in place names like Dennis Mills.
