About this map

Raystown Lake winds through the center of this landscape, its serpentine path carved between the steep ridges of Allegrippis Ridge and Raystown Mountain. The topography of the Woodcock Valley and the surrounding heights is defined by long, linear ridges like Tussey Mountain and the prominent Backbone. This era shows the developed recreational infrastructure along the water, including the Putts Campground and the Tatman Run Access Area.

Genealogists and local historians will find several small settlements and community hubs, such as Entriken and Russellville, alongside notable family-named landmarks like the Brumbaugh Cem. The presence of the Lincoln Grange Hall and Paradise Furnace points to a history of both agricultural organization and early industry in the Great Trough Creek drainage. Traces of past transportation remain visible in the form of an Old Railroad Grade and numerous Jeep Trails cutting through Rothrock State Forest.
