About this map

Loyalsock Creek winds through the eastern portion of this Lycoming County terrain, serving as a primary corridor for small settlements like Loyalsockville and Butternut Grove. The northern reaches are defined by a series of steep ridges and hollows, including Mill Creek Mountain and The Wells Mountain, which hem in narrow stream valleys like those of Sugarcamp Run and Wallis Run. This drainage pattern deeply influenced early local travel, with roads such as Pleasant Valley Rd and Warrensville Rd following the natural contours of the land.

Genealogists will find a significant concentration of burial sites in the southern portion near Montoursville, including Obey Sholem Cemetery and Edgewood Cemetery. Further north, smaller rural communities like North Eldred and Farragut appear alongside family-linked landmarks such as Shafer Memorial Grounds and Quaker Hill Cemetery. The transition from the more densely populated areas of Penn Vale and Kenmar into the rugged heights of Scofield Mountain illustrates the historical boundary between the West Branch Susquehanna valley floor and the northern highlands.
