About this map

Towanda Cr carves a central path through this portion of Bradford County, anchoring the small communities of Franklindale and Powell. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the valley floor to the high ridges of Naglee Mountain and Lamoka Mountain to the south. Historically significant routes like the Berwick Tpke traverse the northern highlands near Highland, following a network of secondary roads that link isolated homesteads and farms.

Evidence of the region's geological and water resources is found in the deep incisions of Schrader Cr and the remote Deep Hollow, while small upland features like Cash Pond sit atop Cash Mountain. The map illustrates a rural Pennsylvania economy still centered on its creek valleys and the transport corridors that follow them, such as the roads connecting the small settlement of Weston to the larger drainages. This survey provides a precise record of early 21st-century land use in a region where topography continues to dictate settlement patterns.
