2019 Map of Fredericksburg

About this map

Fredericksburg and Jonestown anchor this part of the Lebanon Valley, showing a dense network of early crossroads and religious heritage sites. Numerous local burial grounds and churches, such as the Jonestown Reformed and Old Cem and Shirksville Mennonite Church Cem, illustrate the deep-rooted German sectarian and local family histories of the region. The landscape is defined by the ridge to the north, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail follows the high ground above Monroe Valley. Waterways like Little Swatara Creek and Elizabeth Run wind through the valley, supporting a mix of agricultural land and small villages like Shirksville and Meckville. The inclusion of smaller locales such as Mount Ararat and Bunker Hill provides fine-grained detail for genealogists tracing ancestral homesteads near Jonestown. Modern infrastructure, including the Farmers Pride Airport and the William Penn Hwy, shows the evolution of transport alongside traditional footpaths.
