About this map

Peters Mountain dominates the central landscape of this Dauphin County region, part of a series of parallel ridges including Second Mountain and Third Mountain. The terrain dictated the layout of small settlements such as Enders, Enterline, and Carsonville, which occupy the narrow valleys between these steep rises. The preservation of local history is evident in the numerous family and community burial grounds, most notably the Philip Christian Enders Memorial Cem and Saint Pauls Lutheran Church Cem.

Industrial remnants like Victoria Furnace and Ellendale Forge suggest an era of iron production along the creeks, while the Appalachian National Scenic Trail now traces the high ground of the ridge. Waterways such as Clark Creek and Stony Creek flow through these secluded valleys, defining the corridors for early roads like Clarks Valley Rd. The map also captures specialized land uses, from the Devils Race Course rock feature to small local landing strips like Gusler Airport.
