The north-bank neighborhood, whole

SECTION 8, ACROSS THE RIVER — IN THE TOWN, IN PENN TOWNSHIP, ON VISTULA'S OLD ROAD

The town spans both sides of its river, the majority south — and the north-bank minority is a neighborhood entire: across the St. Joseph in section 8 of the same township, the parcel record carries a distinct cluster under its own plat names. River Wood Landing, 13 parcels and more, on Vistula Landing Drive, with its replats of lots 17/18 and 19/20 in the descriptions — a riverfront subdivision of the modern era, named for the landing ground of the old Vistula Road corridor. Riverside Resort, 8 parcels on Vistula Road, its descriptions running to lots 16 through 20 — a resort plat of the river's pleasure era, surviving as addresses. The Riverview Woods condominium, 2 units on Riverview Boulevard, completes the cluster's named record. The county's own geography settles the question a map raises: the parcel layer's township field returns Penn for the north-bank parcels as for the south (1,385 of the town's 1,388 parcels carry Penn in that field, 3 blank), and the Census Bureau's town polygon takes in both banks — the river divides the town's ground without dividing its jurisdiction, exactly as the Story of Osceola section's frame states. The north bank's neighborhood character is the river's: landing, resort and river-view names in place of the south side's addition-era family names, on the far side of the same crossing the 1832–33 road surveys fixed.
