About this map

Montrose serves as a prominent focal point in this 2016 survey, where the local terrain is defined by a network of creeks and small glacial lakes. The settlement pattern is characterized by numerous small communities and named hills, such as Fairdale, South Montrose, and Louden Hill. Water features like Big Elk Lake, Little Elk Lake, and Indian Lake dominate the southern portion of the sheet, while the drainage of E Br Wyalusing Cr and S Br Wyalusing Cr carves through the central landscape.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by several dedicated burial grounds, including North Hill Cem, Fair Hill Cem, and Holy Name of Mary Cem. The presence of the Husky Haven Airport and rural landmarks like Snows Mill reflect a mix of mid-century infrastructure and older industrial sites. The detailed road network, featuring names like Darrow Hill Rd and Michaels Hill Rd, underscores the family-named landmarks that define this part of Susquehanna County.
