2016 Map of Troy

About this map

Troy serves as the focal point of this northern Pennsylvania landscape, situated at the confluence of several branches of Sugar Creek. The settlement pattern follows the drainage of Sugar Creek and the North Branch Sugar Creek, with small villages like Columbia Cross Roads and Austinville connected by valley roads. To the southwest, the terrain rises sharply toward the high plateau of Armenia Mtn, home to the ecologically distinct Tamarack Swamp. Genealogy researchers will find a significant concentration of burial grounds, including the Saint Johns Cem and Glenwood Cem near the town center, as well as family-named sites like Besley Cem and Fries Cem scattered across the uplands. The presence of Railroad Springs near Case Cem points to the historical importance of local water sources for early transportation and industry in Bradford County.
