About this map

Rome and its surrounding Bradford County highlands are defined by a complex drainage system that feeds into the Susquehanna River at the southwestern corner of the sheet. The landscape is marked by numerous family-named peaks and ridges such as South Hill, Johnson Hill, and the prominent Red Rock Mtn. Small settlements and crossroads like Allis Hollow, Mercur, and Herrickville are connected by a network of winding roads that follow the contours of the terrain, including Battle Creek Rd and Towner Hill Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant value in the high density of rural burial grounds preserved here, from the centrally located Ireland/ Catholic Cem to the Keene Summit Cem and Ballibay Cem. Water features are equally prominent, with Wysox Creek and Rummerfield Cr cutting through the valleys, while isolated bodies of water like Tamarack Pond and Totem Lake dot the higher elevations, illustrating the typical rural Pennsylvania upland settlement pattern.
