About this map

Penns Creek and Middle Creek define the drainage of this central Pennsylvania landscape, winding through the valley between Middle Creek Mountain and White Top. The area is characterized by a series of small agricultural and industrial settlements including Freeburg, Kreamer, and the outskirts of Selinsgrove. Of particular note is the sprawling campus of the Selinsgrove State School and Hospital on the eastern edge of the quadrangle.

Transport and land use are centered on the Penn Central rail corridor and a network of rural schools and churches, such as Hermans Sch and St Pauls Ch. Local industrial activity is evident through a Drag Strip near the center of the sheet, multiple quarries, and a Gravel Pit. The map also captures several family-named landmarks and cemeteries, including Fairview Cem and Evergreen Cem, which provide valuable touchpoints for genealogical research in Snyder County.
