About this map

Big Cove Tannery sits at the heart of this landscape, where the waters of Big Cove Creek flow through the narrow valley floor. The geography is defined by parallel ridges, with Scrub Ridge and Little Scrub Ridge to the west and the prominent Tuscarora Mountain rising to the east. This 2023 survey illustrates the enduring rural character of Fulton and Franklin counties, showing small settlements like Websters Mill and Plum Run connected by a network of winding roads like Great Cove Rd.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the distribution of family and community landmarks. Numerous burial grounds are documented, including Simpson Farm Cem and Rehobeth United Methodist Church Cem, reflecting generations of settlement along the tributaries of Licking Creek. The map also preserves the names of distinct topographic landmarks such as Indian Chair and Lowery Knob, providing a clear look at the historic land divisions and natural features that have shaped this Pennsylvania corridor.
