2016 Map of Powell

About this map

Towanda Creek carves a central valley through this part of Bradford County, serving as the primary corridor for settlements like Franklindale and Powell. The landscape is defined by the contrast between these fertile creek bottoms and the surrounding heights of Naglee Mtn and Lamoka Mtn. A significant concentration of small burial grounds, including the Willey Family Cem and Dodge Cem, suggests a long-standing pattern of localized family landholdings in the hills. To the south, the terrain becomes more isolated as it drops into Long Valley and the Deep Hollow drainage. The map preserves the names of numerous rural routes and family-named landmarks such as N Preacher's Brook Rd and Harris Rd, which provide valuable geographic context for tracing ancestral farmsteads and the early infrastructure of West Burlington Township.
