About this map

Susquehanna River bends sharply through this northern Pennsylvania landscape, defining the industrial and civic core of Susquehanna and Oakland. The area's mid-20th-century development is anchored by Barnes Hosp and the Susquehanna Consolidated Sch, while numerous quarries dot the hillsides, indicating a long-standing reliance on stone extraction. The terrain is deeply carved by water, with Starrucca Creek and Canawacta Creek feeding the main river valley.

Transportation history is visible along the banks where an Old Railroad Grade follows the river's path, a remnant of the rail infrastructure that once drove the local economy. Beyond the primary settlements, the map reveals smaller communities like Lanesboro and Stevens Point, along with rural landmarks such as Bethel Hill Ch and the secluded Comfort Lake. The presence of State Game Lands No 70 in the northeast highlights the transition from the concentrated river towns to the wooded uplands of Susquehanna County.
