About this map

Fannettsburg and the surrounding valley floor serve as the focal point for this 2023 survey of Franklin County, where the agricultural landscape is constrained by the prominent ridges of Tuscarora Mountain and Kittatinny Mountain. The mapping reveals a high density of ancestral burial sites, including the Fannettsburg Reformed Church Cem, the Shetler Family Cem, and the Evert Farm Family Cem, suggesting a long history of family-held farmsteads and rural congregations.

Waterways like the West Branch Conococheague Creek and Conodoguinet Creek follow the valley troughs, defining the corridors of movement through Path Valley and Horse Valley. These narrow gaps, such as Keefer Gap and Skinner Gap, illustrate the geographic barriers that shaped local settlement patterns and road networks like Path Valley Rd. The map also details extensive recreational and service routes including the Bear Valley Snowmobile Trails Trl and various fire trails across Broad Mountain.
