About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a deep path through the center of this 1969 landscape, separating the industrial and transit corridors of Riverside and Danville Airport from the steep, wooded heights of Montour Ridge. The river valley serves as a primary artery for the Penn Central and Erie-Lackawanna railroads, while the ridges host expansive tracks of State Game Lands No 115. Local industry and infrastructure are evident at the Franklin Furnace and a Pumping Sta near the riverbank.

Rural life in the surrounding townships is anchored by historic sites such as Grace Ch near Cameron and St Johns Ch in the north. The map details smaller settlements like Mooresburg, Mausdale, and Snydertown, alongside distinctive topographic markers like Devils Feather Bed. Genealogists may find value in numerous burial grounds, including Brights Cem and Klines Grove Cem, which dot the upland valleys of Upper Augusta and M A H O N I N G.
