1966 Map of Fannettsburg

About this map

Fannettsburg and the surrounding mountain gaps anchor this mid-1960s study of central Pennsylvania terrain. The landscape is dominated by the ridges of Tuscarora Mountain and Kittatinny Mountain, which create the natural corridor known as Path Valley. This area shows a blend of rural life and strategic infrastructure, from the Pennsylvania Toll Turnpike crossing through the Interchange 14 Tollgate to the sprawling Letterkenny Army Depot in the southeast. Genealogy researchers will find several local landmarks including Metal Ch, Shady Pine Ch, and the Lower Path Valley Cem. The settlement pattern follows the West Branch Conococheague Creek, where small communities like Springtown and Willow Hill are situated near gaps in the ridge like Skinner Gap and Keefer Gap.
