2013 Map of Towanda

About this map

The Susquehanna River dominates this landscape, carving a wide valley through Bradford County that has long dictated the placement of settlements and transport. Along its banks, the established borough of Towanda serves as a focal point, flanked by residential and industrial pockets in North Towanda, South Towanda, and East Towanda. The river's influence is clear at Bald Eagle Island and in the surrounding tributaries like Wysox Cr and Sugar Cr. Away from the river, the terrain rises into upland communities such as Ghent and Black, where the land use transitions to more dispersed rural patterns. Notable recreation and infrastructure are found throughout the area, from the Towanda Golf Course to the small Veit Airport, while local geography is marked by distinctive water bodies like Lake Wesauking and Shores Pond.
