About this map

Tunkhannock serves as the focal point of this 2013 survey, where the Susquehanna River makes a sharp southward bend. The landscape is defined by the river's path and its named islands, including First Island, Second Island, and Third Island, as well as La Grange Island further downstream. The terrain rises sharply from the riverbanks toward high ground like Osterhout Mountain and Avery Mountain, creating the deep valleys of Benson Hollow and Sugar Hollow.

Transport and recreation define the outskirts, from the aviation activity at Skyhaven Airport to the established lakeside community at Lake Carey. Smaller settlements and hollows like Whippoorwill Hollow, Brookside, and Eatonville are connected by a network of rural roads that follow the contours of the local creek systems, including Bowman Cr and Tunkhannock Cr. The map captures the mix of small-town centers and the surrounding highlands that characterize this portion of Wyoming County.
