About this map

Friedensburg and Summit Station anchor this rural landscape in central Pennsylvania, where the terrain transitions across the ridges of Schuylkill Mountain and Blue Mountain. For genealogists and local historians, the area is notably dense with denominational burial grounds, including the Saint Peter's Lutheran and Reformed Cem, Saint John's Evangelical Lutheran Church Cem, and the Feick Family Cem near the southern border.

The landscape is defined by the ridge-and-valley topography, with the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winding across the southern heights above Schubert. Waterways like Red Creek and Upper Little Swatara Creek cut through the valleys, while the residential community around Lake Wynonah represents a significant modern water feature and settlement cluster. Further south, the boundary between Schuylkill and Berks counties follows the high ground, punctuated by the Snowmobile Route Trl.
