Susquehanna Valley
The Susquehanna Valley is a region of low-lying land that borders the Susquehanna River in the U.S. states of New York, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. The valley consists of areas that lie along the main branch of the river, which flows from Upstate New York through Pennsylvania and Maryland into the Chesapeake Bay, as well as areas that lie along the shorter West Branch in Pennsylvania. The Chemung River valley, connecting with the Susquehanna Valley at Binghamton, is part of the Susquehannna watershed in everything but name.
