About this map

Towanda Creek carves a central path through this section of Bradford County, creating a valley for the Old Railroad Grade and small communities like Franklindale and Powell. This landscape is defined by the sharp transition between the agricultural lands of Franklin and West Burlington townships to the north and the heavily wooded, mountainous terrain of the State Game Lands No 36 and State Game Lands No 12 to the south.

Genealogists and local historians will find several notable markers of the era's civic life, including the Monroe Franklin Sch and the Powell Cem. To the south, the terrain rises toward Naglee Mountain and Lamoka Mtn, where specialized landmarks like Barclay Station and several identified Mines and Gravel Pits point to the area's industrial past. The drainage of Schrader Creek and its many tributaries, such as Chilson Run and Nates Run, dominate the southern wilderness.
