1966 Map of Fannettsburg

About this map

The ridge-and-valley landscape of Franklin County is defined here by the massive parallels of Tuscarora Mountain and Kittatinny Mountain. In the mid-1960s, this corridor served as a vital transportation artery, anchored by the Pennsylvania Turnpike and its Interchange 14 near Willow Hill. The village of Fannettsburg sits at the base of the mountain near Mountain Lake, while the narrow valleys between the peaks host isolated rural landmarks like Shady Pine Ch and the Horse Valley Cem. To the southeast, the terrain transitions into the restricted grounds of the Letterkenny Army Depot. The map also captures specialized infrastructure of the era, from the Burst Cabin Landing Strip tucked against the state forest boundary to the Tollgate controlling pike access, illustrating the mix of traditional mountain settlements and modern transit developments.
