1998 Map of Milton

About this map

The West Branch Susquehanna River serves as the central artery for this late-1990s landscape, bordering the industrial and residential hub of Milton. The town’s dense grid is flanked by Milton State Park on an island in the river, reflecting a transition from purely industrial river use to public recreation. Inland, the terrain is defined by Limestone Ridge and several distinct boroughs, including Watsontown, Turbotville, and McEwensville. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with burial sites such as Milton Cemetery, Harmony Cemetery, and Old Cem, alongside numerous country churches like Messiah Ch. The agricultural and small-town character of Northumberland County remains evident in the numerous Gravel Pits and the sprawling municipal boundaries of Delaware and West Chillisquaque townships.
