1945 Map of Friedensburg

About this map

Blue Mountain divides this mid-century landscape where the rural uplands of South Manheim and Wayne meet the northern edge of Upper Tulpehocken. The terrain is marked by a dense network of local landmarks, including a high concentration of named rural schools such as Black Horse Sch and De Binder Sch, serving the scattered farmstead communities. The Appalachian Trail follows the high ridge of the mountain, overlooking the valley where the Little Swatara Creek begins its descent.
