2010 Map of Donation

About this map

Standing Stone Creek meanders through this central Pennsylvania landscape, anchoring a rural network of small settlements and family farmsteads in the early 21st century. The map documents a deeply rooted community, evidenced by a high density of local burial sites such as the Evans Family Cemetery, Stewart Family Cemetery, and Steel Cemetery. From the historic milling site at Cornpropst Mills to the educational research grounds of the Pennsylvania State University Experimental Forest, the area maintains a balance between small-scale agriculture and forest management. Small hamlets like Donation, Center Union, and Manor Hill serve as local crossroads, while Feltenberger Airport provides a modern aviation link to this valley. The terrain is defined by prominent ridges like Stone Creek Ridge and Drake Ridge, which separate the many runs and hollows feeding into the primary creek system.
