2013 Map of North Sanford

About this map

The Susquehanna River cuts through the northwest corner of this region, where the Middle Bridge connects local travel near the Balls Island riverbend. This rural landscape is defined by the headwaters of numerous creeks, including Oquaga Cr and Cold Spring Cr, which wind through a series of valleys and hills like Burnside Hill and Page Pond Hill. Small crossroads communities and hamlets such as North Sanford, East Afton, and the uniquely named China serve as focal points for the surrounding agricultural and forest lands. Local history and genealogy are anchored by several scattered burial grounds, including Beech Hill Cem, Melondy Hill Cem, and Arctic Cem. The presence of Baxters Tree Farm And Nursery and Camp Amahami near Page Pond highlights the area's continued reliance on the natural landscape for both industry and recreation.
