About this map

Yellow Breeches Creek winds through the northern valley of this Cumberland County landscape, anchoring a series of small agricultural and industrial settlements including Dickinson, Huntsdale, and Moors Mill. The terrain is sharply defined by the transition from the fertile lowlands of the Great Valley into the wooded elevations of South Mountain, where Michaux State Forest and Kings Gap State Park preserve large tracts of timberland.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the numerous community landmarks, such as the Dickinson Presbyterian Church Graveyard and the South Fairview First Church of God Cem. To the south, the industrial history of the region is evident at Pine Grove Furnace, situated near Fuller Lake and Laurel Forge Pond. This area serves as a major corridor for outdoor recreation, featuring a prominent section of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail and the Cumberland County Biker/Hiker Trl.
