About this map

The Susquehanna River carves through Columbia County, anchoring a landscape defined by riverside settlements and the Delaware Lackawanna and Western railroad. On the southern bank, Mifflinville sits across from Lime Ridge, where a prominent Quarry and Gravel Pit indicate the local industrial activity of the late 1940s. The northern terrain is dominated by the ridges of Huntington Mountain and Lee Mountain, sheltering small hamlets like Evansville and Fowlersville.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including several country churches such as Old Stone Ch and St Peters Ch. Numerous burial grounds are documented, from the large Roselawn Cem near the eastern border to the smaller Brown Cem and Elan Memorial Cem. The map also preserves the locations of early 20th-century infrastructure, such as the Creasy Sta and the Center Sch, reflecting the rural educational and transit patterns of the era.
