About this map

The ridge-and-valley landscape of northern Dauphin County is defined here by a series of parallel crests including Peters Mountain, Third Mountain, and Second Mountain. This 1960s survey records the rural character of the region before significant modernization, showing small agricultural and residential centers like Enders, Enterline, and Waynesville. Industrial history is preserved in labels for Victoria Furnace and Ellendale Forge, hinting at the area's early iron production, while the Old RR Grade south of Stony Creek marks the path of former transport routes through the gaps.

Outdoor recreation and utility infrastructure are prominent throughout State Game Lands No 211, with the Appalachian Trail following the high ground of Peters Mountain. The Clark Creek Aqueduct and numerous pipelines cut across the drainage basins of Powell Creek and Stony Creek. Genealogists may find interest in the documented country churches and burial grounds, such as Union Ch Cem, Trinity Ch, and the St James Ch located near the northern border of Jefferson township.
