About this map

Towanda Creek meanders through the central valley of this Bradford County landscape, anchoring a cluster of historic hamlets and family burial grounds. The settlement of Franklindale serves as a local focal point, surrounded by several notable cemeteries including the Franklin Center Christian Cem, Willey Family Cem, and Franklindale Cem. These sites, along with the West Franklin Cem further west, offer significant touchpoints for genealogical research in West Burlington Township.

To the south, the terrain rises sharply into a series of ridges defined by Naglee Mtn, Lamoka Mtn, and Stone Mtn. This upland area is carved by steep drainages such as Bull Run and Deep Hollow, eventually giving way to the southern valley of Schrader Creek. The map documents a rural network of historic transit routes, including the N Berwick Tpke and Plank Rd, which reflect the early infrastructure used to navigate this part of Pennsylvania.
