Below: viewing lines on the Susquehanna County map, what accuracy to expect, reading a deed description, and what to do when a fence near Great Bend disagrees.
Finding Susquehanna County property lines step by step
On the Susquehanna County ArcGIS parcel map, locate the parcel near Great Bend, and switch on aerial imagery to see the outline over the photo. Measuring a lot in Forest City on screen is useful with planning, not for setting posts.
Opening the Susquehanna County parcel viewer
The county's own public map is the Susquehanna County ArcGIS parcel map, built on an Esri ArcGIS web map, and it opens without an account for parcels in Great Bend and the rest of the county. Use the search box for an address in Great Bend or a parcel number, or simply zoom in and click a piece of ground near Hop Bottom. Bookmark our Susquehanna County page too; it tracks the official Pennsylvania link if it moves and lists the maps around Great Bend.
How accurate are Susquehanna County property lines?
Boundaries on the county map are drawn to fit tax maps and aerial photos, so a line near Hop Bottom that crosses a house or misses a fence is not unusual. When money or a court is involved near Hop Bottom, rely on recorded documents and a fresh survey rather than the county layer.
Reading the legal description
Outside subdivisions, Pennsylvania land most often relies on metes-and-bounds descriptions, so old calls near Great Bend can be tricky to follow. On a subdivision lot near Great Bend, the description is most often a lot and block on a recorded plat, so request it from the county's recording office.
On the ground with the map
When you walk a line near Lanesboro, take the parcel ID, the legal description and a printout from the county map; it keeps a conversation with a neighbor concrete. If you locate a pin near Lanesboro, leave it in place; moving or removing a fresh survey monument can create problems for everyone.
Setbacks, fences and trees in Susquehanna County
Garages, sheds and pools near Great Bend often have setback minimums, and the measurement is from the surveyed line, not the Susquehanna County GIS line. Long-standing fences near Great Bend can raise legal questions under Pennsylvania law, which is a conversation for a real estate attorney.
Work and land use in Susquehanna County
Susquehanna County's 2022 business count was 843 establishments, with retail trade, other services, and construction the largest groups. Compared with national shares, Susquehanna County leans toward mining (except oil and gas) and nonmetallic mineral product manufacturing, which shapes demand for land near Hallstead.
Finding corner pins and surveys
Corner pins on a lot in Forest City can hide under leaves or sod, but one pin doesn't prove where the line runs. Check whether a fresh survey of the piece of ground near Forest City was recorded; a licensed survey comes first, and an attorney can advise if it escalates.

Not a survey. County GIS and tax parcel maps are assessment and planning layers. They are not a substitute for a recorded plat, deed, or licensed survey, especially for fences, setbacks, or boundary disputes.
