The Maple Ridge Cemetery is another quaint little Susquehanna County cemetery that lies on Route 1021, about four miles southwest of Susquehanna, PA. Established in 1854, it is a well kept and well preserved burial ground. This charming little cemetery is located about one mile past the Brushville Baptist Church and is easily accessed as it lies right beside the highway. A beautifully carved blue stone monument marks its entrance, flowers and flags adorn many of the graves in this rural setting. All of the legible stones that lie within this area have been photographed and cataloged; about 6 stones were totally unreadable. All the names that could be read are posted with its corresponding gravestone in the gallery.
