About this map

Wysox Creek and its many tributaries, including Parks Creek and Bullard Creek, define the drainage patterns of this Bradford County landscape. The settlement of Rome serves as a local hub near the northern edge, while smaller hamlets like Herrickville and Allis Hollow are connected by a network of winding valley roads. The topography is marked by significant elevations such as Red Rock Mtn and Keene Summit, where the Keene Summit Ch stands as a local landmark.

Local genealogy is well-preserved through numerous burial grounds, including Mercur Cem, Irish Cem, and South Herrick Cem. Along the southwestern corner, the Susquehanna River flows past Claverack Pond, paralleled by the Conrail line. This survey, updated in the late 1970s, captures the rural character of the area, showing the distribution of family-named features like Johnson Creek and Vought Creek before later modern developments.
