About this map

Chambersburg serves as the focal point of this 1990 survey, showing the borough's growth alongside established institutions like Wilson College and the Franklin County Prison. The landscape is a mix of dense residential grids and institutional land use, including the sprawling Letterkenny Army Depot to the north and the Chambersburg Municipal Airport. Waterways such as Conococheague Creek and Falling Spring Branch cut through the terrain, historically influencing the placement of landmarks like the Siloam Dam and Red Bridge.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites, from the large Norland Cemetery and Cedar Grove Cem to smaller family or church plots like Old Crider Cem and Brechbill Cem. The transition from the urban center to outlying communities is marked by places like Stoufferstown, Guilford Springs, and the uniquely named Social Island. The infrastructure of the era is well-documented, featuring the Culbertson Sta and the intersection of modern transport at Interchange 5.
