About this map

Washingtonville serves as a central hub in this landscape where Montour, Northumberland, and Columbia counties converge. The geography is defined by the branching waters of Chillisquaque Creek, including its West, Middle, and East branches, which carve through a series of ridges and lowlands. To the north, Lake Chillisquaque dominates the drainage basin with its distinct Goose Cove and Heron Cove inlets.

Genealogists and local historians will find a dense concentration of burial sites reflecting the area's diverse denominational roots, from the Saint James Episcopal Church Cem in Exchange to the Beaver Run Mennonite Cem near California. The map details many small, dispersed settlements such as Strawberry Ridge, Ottawa, and Limestoneville, all connected by a network of rural routes like Continental Blvd and White Hall Rd. The prominent Limestone Ridge runs across the southern portion of the sheet, illustrating the geological character that influenced early settlement patterns.
