About this map

The Susquehanna River defines the geography of this Bradford County region, carving through the Sheshequin Valley and creating a series of riverfront communities from South Towanda to Sheshequin. As the county seat, Towanda serves as the focal point of the area, centered around the Bradford County Courthouse and a grid of historic streets including Chestnut St and Lombard St. The map reveals a deeply settled landscape where upland farming hamlets like Ghent and Black contrast with the riverside activity of Wysox and East Towanda.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the terrain, from the Gillette Family Cem in the north to the Macedonia Cem in the southeast. Cultural landmarks are well-represented, including the Christ Episcopal Church Columbarium and the Saints Peter and Paul Cem. The landscape is further characterized by recreational and utility features such as Lake Wesauking, Veit Airport, and the Susquehanna River Water Trail - North Branch Trl, illustrating the modern balance of civic life and the natural environment.
