2019 Map of Elizabethville

About this map

Elizabethville serves as a central hub in this valley, situated between the prominent ridges of Berry Mtn and Mahantango Mtn. The landscape is defined by its agricultural character and the network of streams such as Wiconisco Creek and Little Wiconisco Cr that drain the central basin. Local heritage is deeply rooted in the numerous small settlements and religious landmarks dotting the countryside, including Berrysburg, Matterstown, and the Old Stone Church. The topographic detail illustrates the transition from the relatively flat valley floor to the steep, wooded slopes of Broad Mountain and Rock's Ridge. Genealogists will find particular value in the documentation of local burial grounds like Maple Grove Cem, Straws Cem, and the Forneys United Brethren in Christ Cem, reflecting the early settlement patterns of this corner of Dauphin County.
