2023 Map of Donation

About this map

Warrior Ridge and Stone Mountain frame this central Pennsylvania valley, where rural settlements like Donation and Manor Hill follow the winding paths of Standing Stone Creek and Shaver Creek. The landscape is a complex network of family-named ridges and hollows, including Drake Ridge, Lick Ridge, and Stillhouse Hollow, reflecting generations of upland farming and timbering. Small cemeteries and rural churches, such as the Manor Hill Presbyterian Cem and Cornpropst Mills Baptist Cem, anchor the crossroads, while the Hilling International Airport provides a modern landing point in the rugged terrain between Donation and Center Union. The dense concentration of private family burial sites like Stewart Family Cem and Evans Family Cem indicates a deep-rooted genealogy of long-tenured residents along Murray Run and Mill Creek.
