1994 Map of Northumberland

About this map

Northumberland sits at the strategic confluence of the West Branch Susquehanna River and the main branch, a landscape defined by the prominent Montour Ridge rising sharply above the river plains. In the mid-1990s, the area reflects a blend of historic settlement patterns and modern infrastructure, from the preserved legacy of the Sodom Sch (Historic) near Montandon to the active transport corridors flanking the water. The river islands, most notably Packers Island, serve as central landmarks where Shikellamy State Park meets the industrial edges of Sunbury and the residential neighborhoods of Kapp Heights.
