About this map

The Susquehanna River carves a dramatic S-curve through Bradford County in this late 1960s survey, dictating the settlement patterns of towns like Wyalusing and Asylum. The Lehigh Valley railroad tracks trace the river's eastern bank, linking riverfront hamlets such as Rummerfield and Homets Ferry. This area's history is deeply intertwined with these transportation corridors and the high ground overlooking them, including the prominent Wyalusing Rocks and Viall Hill.

Local history and genealogy interests are well-served by the mapping of rural institutions like the Standing Stone Ch and French Asylum Ch. The landscape south of the river turns more rugged toward Norwa Ridge, where water features such as Spring Lake and Billetts Pond are situated. Numerous industrial sites, including a Sandpit and several Quarry operations, point to the region's extractive activity alongside the preservation of State Game Lands No 250.
