West Branch Susquehanna

6/22/21

The West Branch Susquehanna River is one of the two principal branches, along with the North Branch, of the Susquehanna River in the northeastern United States. The North Branch, which rises in upstate New York, is generally regarded as the extension of the main branch, with the shorter West Branch being its principal tributary. The West Branch, which is 243 miles (391 km) long, is entirely within the state of Pennsylvania, draining a large mountainous area within the Allegheny Plateau in the western part of the state. Along most of its course it meanders past mountain ridges and through water gaps, forming a large zigzag arc through central Pennsylvania around the north end of the Allegheny Mountains. In colonial times the river provided an important water route to the Ohio valley. In the 18th century, its lower valley became a significant industrial heartland of Pennsylvania. In the 20th century, the upper reaches of the West Branch turned a yellow/orange color due to sulfurous drainage from nearby and abandoned deep bituminous coal mines.

The West Branch rises on the west side of the Alleghenies in northwestern Cambria County, just outside the borough of Carroltown. It flows generally north, crossing the eastern corner of Indiana County at Cherry Tree, then into southern Clearfield County. Near Mahaffey it turns generally northeast and flows past Curwensville and Clearfield. In northern Clinton County it turns to the southeast to Lock Haven. At Lock Haven, it turns east, flowing through the West Branch Susquehanna Valley along the foot of Bald Eagle Mountain ridge past , the largest city on the river, then turns south at the end of the ridge. From there it winds around Muncy, emerging from a water gap between Montour Ridge and Shamokin Mountain and joining the north (main) branch of the Susquehanna from the northwest approximately 2 miles (3 km) north of Sunbury.

Susquehanna River ("Main Branch")

Otsego Lake (headwaters)

Cooperstown NY

arriving with the Delaware and Susquehanna Watersheds of South central upstate New York after a week or so of heavy rains I waited three days for the Waters to ebb from flash flood warnings... many of the stones to reemerged from the muddy Waters...

and it's still rainy...

the headwaters of the Susquehanna River with Cooperstown NY is 30 miles NW of the headwaters of the Delaware River with Jefferson NY...

just North and West of the Delaware River watershed

is the Susquehanna River ("Main Branch") watershed...

"Also called the Main Branch Susquehanna, the longer branch of the river rises at the outlet of Otsego Lake in Cooperstown NY. From there, the north branch of the river runs west-southwest through rural farmland and dairy country, receiving the Unadill River at Sidney. It dips south into Pennsylvania briefly to turn sharply north at Great Bend hooking back into
New York. It receives the Chenango in downtown Binghamton. After meandering westwards, it turns south crossing the line again through the twin-towns of Waverly,
NY - Sayre and their large right bank railyard, once briefly holding the largest building in the world.

A couple miles south, just across the New York state line, in Athens Township (just south of Waverly NY) in northern Pennsylvania it receives the Chemung from the northwest. It makes a right-angle curve between Sayre and Towanda to cut through the Endless Mountains in the Allegheny Plateau of Pennsylvania. It receives the Lackawanna River southwest of Scranton and turns sharply to the southwest, flowing through the former anthracite industrial heartland in the mountain ridges of northeastern Pennsylvania, past Pittston City (Greater Pittston), Wilkes - Barre, Nanticoke, Shickshinny, Berwick,
Bloomsburg, and Danville."
