1969 Map of Riverside

About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a deep valley through the ridges of Northumberland and Montour counties, defining the transport and settlement patterns of this 1969 survey. Along the southern bank, the town of Riverside sits adjacent to the Danville Airport, while the Conrail lines follow the river's path, serving industrial sites like the Pumping Sta and the former Franklin Furnace. The terrain is dominated by the steep slopes of Montour Ridge and Bald Top, with much of the high ground preserved within State Game Lands No 115.
