About this map

The Susquehanna River bends sharply through this northern Pennsylvania landscape, defining the layout of the twin boroughs of Oakland and Susquehanna. This area is shaped by its industrial heritage, specifically as a former railroad hub centered around Susquehanna Depot. The transition from rail commerce to contemporary recreation is evident in the D & H Rail-Trl, which now follows the historic corridor through Jefferson Junction and toward Brandt.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites along the valley, including the Grand Street Cem, Evergreen Cem, and Saint John's Catholic Cem. Beyond the river flats, the terrain rises into named heights like Oak Hill and Taylor Hill, punctuated by numerous water bodies such as Comfort Lake, Foxton Lake, and Ross Pond. The map also captures the smaller settlements of Lanesboro and North Jackson, providing a detailed view of the rural road networks and creeks like Starrucca Creek that feed into the larger river system.
