Susquehanna
a river of the United States, formed by two branches, an E. or N. branch, 250 miles long from Lake Otsego in New York, and a W. branch, 200 miles from the W. slope of the Alleghanies, which unite at Northumberland in Pennsylvania. The united stream flows S. and S. E., and after a course of 150 miles reaches the head of Chesapeake Bay at Port Deposit, Md. It is a wide but shallow stream, nowhere navigable to any extent, except in the spring.
