About this map

Towanda Creek meanders through the central valley of this Bradford County landscape, anchoring the settlements of Franklindale and Powell. The topography is defined by the high elevations of Naglee Mountain and Lamoka Mountain, which separate the northern creek drainage from the southern Schrader Creek corridor. This area reflects a quiet rural character where small crossroads like Highland and Weston serve as local hubs for a network of named roads, including the Berwick Tpke.

Genealogical interest is found at the Powell Cemetery near the eastern edge of the survey, while the southern reaches of the map show more isolated valley floors such as Long Valley and Deep Hollow. The presence of several named runs and brooks, like Preacher Brook and French Run, illustrates the complex drainage system feeding into the larger creek valleys, a pattern that has historically influenced the placement of farms and small hamlets in this part of Pennsylvania.
