The industrial and natural heritage of Dauphin County is clearly etched into this modern survey, defined by the parallel ridges of Peters Mtn, Third Mtn, and Second Mountain. Evidence of early ironworking remains at Victoria Furnace and Ellendale Forge, sites that were once vital to the regional economy. The landscape is bisected by the Appalachian National Scenic Trail, which follows the high crest of the mountains, overlooking a series of valley settlements including Enders, Enterline, and Waynesville. The map also captures several distinctive local landmarks, from the boulder-strewn Devils Race Course to the small rural airstrips at Carsonville Airport and Gusler Airport. Genealogists may find value in the locations of Fairview Cem and Union Church Cem, which serve the clustered communities along Powells Valley Rd and Carsonville Rd.
