About this map

Muncy Creek carves a deep path through the highlands of eastern Pennsylvania, anchoring a series of small riverside communities and rural crossroads. The settlement at Sonestown serves as a local hub, featuring a Covered Bridge and a nearby Gaging Sta, while the Old Railroad Grade winding through the valley traces the path of former mountain industries. Further south, the landscape is defined by the steep rises of North Mountain and Huckleberry Mountain, where much of the land is preserved as State Game Lands No 13.

Genealogists and local historians will find several rural landmarks of interest, including Franklin Ch, Fairview Ch, and a hilltop Cem near Lungerville. The transition from the valley floor at Muncy Valley to the high ridges is marked by seasonal recreation sites like the Ski Area near Brunnerdale Rd and the waters of Beaver Lake. Smaller hamlets like Beech Glen and Strawbridge sit tucked along the creek's bends, illustrating the localized settlement patterns typical of this portion of the Sullivan and Lycoming County line.
