About this map

Towanda serves as the focal point of this late 1990s survey, positioned where Sugar Creek meets the Susquehanna River. The borough's grid is dense with civic landmarks, including the St Agnes Sch and Oak Hill Cemetery, while its industrial and utility character is defined by the Sewage Disposal facility and the river's Gaging Sta. Across the water, East Towanda transitions into a more recreational landscape, featuring a Golf Course, Fairgrounds, and a Drive-in Theater.

Northward along the river valley, smaller settlements like Sheshequin and Hornbrook maintain a rural character punctuated by local burial grounds such as Sheshequin Valley Cem. The topography rises away from the river toward Ghent and North Rome, revealing upland features like Lake Wesauking and Blacks Lake. This landscape demonstrates the 20th-century development of Bradford County, where traditional riverfront industry and quarrying at Quarry Glen exist alongside expanding residential pockets and community gathering spaces.
