About this map

North Mountain and the high plateaus of the Endless Mountains dominate this landscape, where the borders of Sullivan, Luzerne, and Columbia counties meet. The area is defined by the steep glens of Ricketts Glen State Park, showcasing numerous water features such as Kitchen Creek Falls, Lake Jean, and Ganoga Lake. These highlands served as a significant timber and recreation resource, evidenced by the Old Railroad Grade winding across Cherry Ridge and the sprawling expanse of State Game Lands No 13.

Settlement is concentrated in the valley floors and lower gaps, with small communities like Jamison City, Central, and Red Rock providing historical focal points. Notable local landmarks include a Covered Bridge on the West Branch Fishing Creek and distinctive geological formations like Chimneystack Rock. The presence of a Heliport, Landing Strip, and a Shale Pit reflects the varied modern land use, from emergency aviation to local resource extraction, set against a backdrop of deep wilderness.
