About this map

Deer Creek meanders through this agricultural landscape, forming the boundary between Monroe, Perry, and Deer Creek townships. The map is a significant record for family historians, documenting numerous small family burial grounds such as the Anton Kellar Farm Cem, Arthur Dunlap Farm Cem, and Grant Campbell Farm Cem. These cemeteries are often the only remaining markers of the 19th-century families who established the farmsteads along the winding Williamsport Crownover Mill Road.

Central to the local economy of the early 1960s is the Penn Central rail line, which connects the villages of New Holland, Atlanta, and Williamsport. At the northern edge of the map, Crownover Mill stands near a designated Picnic Area, suggesting the site’s transition from a point of early industry to a community landmark. In the south, Clarksburg serves as a local hub, anchored by its High Sch and Water Tank.
