About this map

Chambersburg serves as the focal point of this South Central Pennsylvania landscape, where the Franklin County Courthouse and Wilson College anchor the urban core. The map documents a dense network of early religious and family burial sites, including the Chambersburg Jewish Cem and the Falling Spring Presbyterian Church Cem. This concentration of sites like the Crider Family Farm Cem and Samuel Miller Farm Cem provides essential spatial data for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads in Franklin County.

The surrounding terrain is defined by the winding path of Conococheague Creek and its tributaries, such as Falling Spring Br and Back Creek. Settlement patterns extend from the city center to outlying communities like Stoufferstown, Guilford Springs, and New Franklin. The map also captures the modern infrastructure of the Franklin County Regional Airport and the distinct geography of Social Island to the south.
