About this map

Fishing Creek Gorge and the steep terrain of N Mtn dominate this 2016 survey of the high plateau country where Sullivan, Luzerne, and Columbia counties meet. This landscape is defined by its dramatic verticality, evidenced by the numerous named cascades in the Glen Leigh Valley, including Ganoga Falls, Tuscarora Falls, and Mohican Falls. These falls trace the descent of the plateau toward the valley settlements below.

Lower elevations reveal the small hamlets and crossroads that have long served this area. The village of Jamison City sits at the edge of the gorge, while Red Rock and Mossville mark the transition to more moderate terrain. Notable landmarks like Chimneystack Rock and the high point at Grand View offer perspective on the surrounding timber and hollows, such as Timber Hollow and Hess Hollow, while Lake Jean and Ganoga Lake anchor the northern uplands.
