About this map

Washingtonville serves as a central hub in this corner of Montour County, where the landscape is defined by the winding course of Chillisquaque Creek and its many branches. The area is characterized by a high concentration of historic burial grounds and rural congregations, such as Saint James Episcopal Church Cem and the Washingtonville Old Methodist Cem. These sites, along with smaller family or community plots like Billmeyer Cem and Madden Cem, provide a dense record of the region’s long-standing agricultural communities.

To the north, Lake Chillisquaque dominates the drainage of the Middle Branch Chillisquaque Creek, featuring localized landmarks like Goose Cove and Heron Cove. The terrain shifts towards the south at Limestone Ridge, a prominent geological feature that parallels the valley near Limestoneville. This survey also documents numerous small settlements and crossroads including Strawberry Ridge, Exchange, and Ottawa, connected by a network of rural routes that have served these farming districts for generations.
