About this map

Muncy Creek and its many tributaries carve through the high elevations of Sullivan and Lycoming Counties, defining a landscape of steep ridges and narrow valleys. This area is anchored by small, enduring settlements like Sonestown and Muncy Valley, where the road network follows the natural contours of the land. The presence of several legacy burial sites, including the Franklin Stone Heap Cem and the Fairview United Methodist Church Cem, offers significant detail for those tracing local family history in this corner of Pennsylvania.

Modern transportation routes like the Appalachian Throughway run parallel to older paths such as Old Rte 19, illustrating the persistent role of these corridors in connecting the isolated communities of Beech Glen, Strawbridge, and Lungerville. Significant terrain features such as North Mountain and Huckleberry Mtn dominate the topography, while Beaver Lake provides a central water feature amidst the complex drainage of Shingle Mill Run and Bearwallow Run.
