2013 Map of Northumberland

About this map

Northumberland sits at the significant confluence where the W Br Susquehanna River meets the main branch of the Susquehanna River, a geographic focal point defining the local settlement pattern. This area reveals a diverse landscape, from the prominent Montour Ridge to the unique Montandon Sand Dunes near the village of Montandon. The map documents the persistent river-valley infrastructure, including the Rishel Covered Bridge crossing Chillisquaque Cr and the aviation facilities at Sunbury Airport. Smaller communities like Winfield, Potts Grove, and Kapp Heights are situated along the primary transit corridors that follow the water. Recreation and heritage sites are noted through the Shikellamy Overlook and the Chillisquaque Access Area, highlighting the region's relationship with its waterways and topographical landmarks like Blue Hill and The Knobs.
