About this map

North Mountain dominates the northern reaches of this territory, where the plateaus of Sullivan and Luzerne Counties meet. This modern survey illustrates the high-elevation wetland systems of Bear Swamp and several glacial lakes, including Lake Jean and Lake Ganoga. The landscape is defined by the dramatic descent of the Allegheny Front, most notably through Kitchen Creek Gorge, where the terrain falls away from Cherry Ridge toward the valley below.

Settlement patterns follow the base of the mountains and the narrow creek bottoms, with small communities like Jamison City, Central, and Tri Mills serving as anchors for the local road network. Genealogists can identify specific burial sites such as Hirlinger Cem and Mossville Cem. The map also traces the extensive Ricketts Glen State Park Trails, providing a detailed view of the paths near Midway Crevasse and the numerous named waterfalls along the creek branches.
