About this map

Blue Mountain and Second Mountain dominate this section of the ridge-and-valley province in East Hanover Township. The settlement of Grantville sits at the southern edge of the map, while the landscape to the north is defined by steep, parallel ridges including Stony Mtn and Peters Mtn. A significant portion of the eastern terrain is occupied by the military training grounds of Fort Indiantown Gap, illustrating the area's strategic use of the secluded valley floor between mountains.

Evidence of historical transit and recreation is clear, with the Appalachian National Scenic Trail winding across the high ground while the Old RR Bed follows the path of Stony Cr in the valley below. Local landmarks like Saint Pauls Cem and the small Yingst Airport near Manada Gap provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians tracing the development of the corridor between Lebanon and Dauphin counties.
