1965 Map of Northumberland

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The confluence of the West Branch Susquehanna River and the main stem of the Susquehanna River anchors this 1965 survey, showing the strategic river-town geography of Northumberland and Sunbury. The landscape is dominated by the massive ridge of Montour Ridge, which forces the Chillisquaque Creek to meander significantly before joining the West Branch. Transportation patterns are defined by the Reading and Erie-Lackawanna railroads, which parallel the riverbanks and support established riverfront communities like Kapp Heights and Montandon.
