Shermans Creek winds through a landscape of prominent ridges and valley settlements in this western Perry County locale. The village of Blain serves as a focal point, where the Toboyne Presbyterian Churchyard and Methodist Episcopal Cem mark long-standing community foundations. Moving west, the topography is defined by the parallel rises of Tuscarora Mountain and Conococheague Mountain, creating the distinct Kansas Valley and Horse Valley corridors. Small agricultural hubs like New Germantown and Mount Pleasant are situated along the valley floor, connected by historic routes like New Germantown Rd. The mapping of numerous rural burial sites, including Eby Cem and the Fairview Methodist Church Cem, provides a detailed geographic record for genealogists and local historians tracking family lineage in the Pennsylvania backcountry.
