About this map

Stillwater and the surrounding Columbia and Luzerne County landscape are defined by a network of creeks and prominent ridges in this 2010 survey. The settlement pattern follows the drainages of Fishing Creek and Huntington Creek, with numerous small communities such as New Columbus, Cambra, and Bendertown connected by winding roads and the Old Tioga Tpke. The map provides significant genealogical value through its many family-named cemeteries and landmarks, including Boston Cemetery, Dodson Cemetery, and Belles Cemetery.

The topography is characterized by a series of high points and depressions, from Line Hill and Hess Hill to named valleys like Stine Hollow and Karnes Hollow. This modern era survey captures the region's enduring rural character, where small hamlets like Fairmount Springs and Register persist along the winding watercourses of Raven Creek and Pine Creek. The detailed road network, including historic turnpikes and hollow roads, reveals the long-established transit corridors through this corner of Pennsylvania.
