About this map

Pine Grove Furnace anchors the southern portion of this region, where the steep slopes of South Mountain meet the valley floor. This 2016 survey captures the complex topography of the Cumberland and Adams County line, a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep hollows such as Dead Woman Hollow and Kellars Gap Hollow. The northern half of the map transition into a more settled agricultural pattern, characterized by small hamlets like Longsdorf, Brushtown, and Cumminsville.

Hydrographic features are prominent throughout, from the clear waters of Yellow Breeches Cr in the north to Fuller Lake and Laurel Forge Pond in the south. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail winds across the high ground, passing landmarks like Sunset Rocks and Little Rocky Ridge. Local history is preserved in sites such as the Longsdorf Cem and the industrial remnants at Moors Mill, reflecting the area's long-standing connection to both small-scale farming and the early iron industry.
