About this map

Shermans Creek and its many tributaries, including Cisna Run and Bixler Run, carve a complex network of valleys through the ridgelines of central Pennsylvania. The area is defined by a series of parallel elevations, most notably Bowers Mountain and Blue Mountain, which frame the high-relief landscape. Small rural communities like Andersonburg and Centre are concentrated along Shermans Valley Rd, reflecting a long history of agricultural settlement in the narrow bottomlands.

Genealogists and local historians can find several denominational burial grounds, such as the Shermans Valley Mennonite Cem and Centre Presbyterian Cem, alongside the more remote Pioneer Cem tucked near Hedge Ridge. The transition into the high ridges of the south is marked by the Colonel Denning State Park and Tuscarora State Forest Trails Trl, where the terrain rises sharply toward Wildcat Ridge and the prominent Chimney Rocks overlook.
