The Susquehanna River dominates this portion of Northumberland and Snyder counties, serving as the central spine between the city of Sunbury and the boroughs of Shamokin Dam and Selinsgrove. This landscape is defined by the river's broad channel and its numerous landforms, including Byers Island, Fishers Island, and Kinney Island. The presence of the Sunbury Fabridam near the northern end of the sheet indicates modern water management, while industrial legacies are visible in the large reservoirs of Ash Pond Number Two and Ash Pond Number Three. Educational and civic life is anchored by Susquehanna University and the Penn Valley Airport, providing a detailed look at the region's infrastructure. To the east, the topography rises toward Shikellamy Overlook, overlooking the confluence of Shamokin Creek and the main river branch.
