About this map

Wysox Creek and its many tributaries, including Parks Creek and Bullard Creek, carve through the uplands of Bradford County in this late 1960s snapshot. The settlement of Rome serves as a local hub, while smaller communities like Allis Hollow, Mercur, and Herrickville are scattered across the landscape. The geography is defined by significant ridges such as Red Rock Mtn and the broad plateau of Standing Stone.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the Keene Summit Ch to several family and community burial grounds, including Ballibay Cem, Irish Cem, and Mercur Cem. The southern edge of the map follows the winding Susquehanna River, where the Lehigh Valley transport corridor parallels the water. Industrial activity is visible in several locations marked as Quarry and a Gravel Pit near the river, reflecting the region's reliance on local natural resources.
