About this map

Lake Montrose and the borough of Montrose anchor the northwestern corner of this landscape, where the headwaters of Snake Cr and Meshoppen Cr begin their descent through the Glaciated Low Plateau. This area is defined by its numerous glacial kettles and ponds, ranging from the cluster at Heart Lake to the tiered waters of Upper Lake, Middle Lake, and Lower Lake in the east.

Family history is preserved in several rural burial grounds, including Williams Pond Cem and Rosengrants Cem, which sit among the undulating hills of Birchard Hill and Poplar Hill. Transport patterns follow the narrow valley floors, most notably along Martins Cr where the village of Alford and the crossroads at Kingsley sit at the intersection of historical turnpikes and creek-side routes. To the south, the village of Brooklyn is situated near the Pa-468 Reservoir on Hop Bottom Cr.
