About this map

The Susquehanna River cuts through the southeastern corner of this quadrangle, separating the riverfront communities of Shickshinny and Mocanaqua. These settlements are anchored by the dramatic rise of Shickshinny Mountain and Huntington Mountain, with Searchs Island and Bellis Island resting in the river's flow. Moving northwest, the landscape transitions into a network of small upland settlements and water bodies, including Huntington Mills, Harveyville, and the waters of Shickshinny Lake.

Genealogists and local historians will find a wealth of specific locales such as Patterson Grove, Dogtown, and Muhlenburg. The map documents a landscape defined by its hydrography, from the larger Shickshinny Creek and Huntington Creek to smaller features like Paddy Run and Osborn Culver Pond. High-elevation landmarks like the Shickshinny Fire Tower provide a glimpse into the regional forestry infrastructure of the early 21st century.
