About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a deep path through this northern Pennsylvania and southern New York landscape, anchoring the interconnected rail and river towns of Susquehanna, Oakland, and Lanesboro. In this 2010 survey, the historical footprint of these settlements is evident in the dense street grids of Front St and Erie Ave, while the surrounding terrain is marked by prominent high points such as Oak Hill and Taylor Hill.

Water management and local geography are central to the area's layout, from the Oakland Dam on the river to the upland basins of Comfort Lake and Churchill Lake. Genealogists will find significant value in the documentation of the Saint Johns Cemetery, Evergreen Cemetery, and the more remote North Jackson Cemetery. The map also captures several smaller outlying communities like Jefferson Junction and Stevens Point, alongside curious local landmarks such as the Devils Punch Bowl near Cascade Creek.
