About this map

Wiconisco Creek snakes through the central valley of this Dauphin County landscape, flanked by the prominent ridges of Mahantango Mountain and Berry Mountain. The settlement pattern follows the fertile gaps between these peaks, anchored by Elizabethville and Berrysburg. This mid-century view captures the area's agricultural and burgeoning industrial character, noted by Industrial Waste Ponds and a Quarry near the mountain base.

Local history is preserved in the numerous country churches and landmarks, including St Johns Ch, Maple Grove Ch, and the many surviving Covered Bridges that span the winding creeks. To the east, the terrain becomes more industrial and wild, featuring a Strip Mine in State Game Lands No 264 and the sprawling Haldeman State Forest where Deep Hollow and Wolf Pond Run define the rugged southern reaches.
