2010 Map of Dickinson

About this map

Pine Grove Furnace serves as a historic anchor in the southern portion of this Cumberland County landscape, where industrial history meets modern recreation. The presence of the Pine Grove Furnace Stack and the Tomstown Dolomite Quarry reflects the area's legacy of resource extraction and iron production. To the north, the terrain transitions into a valley of small settlements and family-named roads, including Dickinson, Brushtown, and Hockersville. The Yellow Breeches Creek meanders through the northern lowlands, supporting the Huntsdale State Fish Hatchery. Significant cultural landmarks like Longsdorfs Cemetery and the site of Camp Michaux offer specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. The ridge lines are defined by gaps such as Kings Gap Hollow within Kings Gap State Park, while the Appalachian Trl traverses the high ground near Sunset Rocks and Pole Steeple.
