About this map

The Susquehanna River cuts through the heart of this landscape, serving as the primary corridor for industry and transportation in the post-war era. Along its northern banks, the Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroad parallels the water, connecting the riverside community of Mifflinville with nearby industrial centers. Small agricultural and residential clusters like Lime Ridge, Fowlersville, and Martzville are scattered across the terrain, often centered around local institutions such as St Peters Ch and the Old Stone Ch.

The map reveals a transition from the river valley's commercial activity, including a Quarry and Gravel Pit, to the more varied elevations of Huntington Mountain and Orange Knob. Rural life is anchored by family-named locations and small landmarks like Center Sch and Ebenezer Ch, while the eastern edge begins to show the growth of Berwick. This survey effectively documents the intersection of rail infrastructure and the established rural hamlets of Columbia County.
