1966 Map of Doylesburg

About this map

The ridge-and-valley terrain of Franklin County is defined here by the parallel rises of Tuscarora Mountain and Kittatinny Mountain, which create isolated agricultural corridors such as Fannett and Lurgan. In the mid-1960s, these valleys supported small rural communities like Doylesburg and Amberson, where local life centered around the St Marys Ch, Burns Valley Ch, and family Cem plots. The landscape is a mix of high-relief forestry and valley floor farming, with the Pennsylvania Turnpike cutting a sharp modern line through the southern portion of the map.
