About this map

Grantville serves as the primary settlement hub in this portion of Dauphin County, where the valley floor meets the imposing ridges of the Appalachian Mountains. The landscape is defined by a series of parallel heights, including Peters Mountain, Stony Mountain, and Second Mountain, which create isolated corridors for water and transit. Within these valleys, Stony Creek flows along an Old RR Bed, now utilized as the Stony Valley Railroad Grade Trl, illustrating the transition from industrial extraction to recreational use.

Strategic and historical land use is prominent, with the northern reaches of Fort Indiantown Gap and NG Fort Indiantown Gap occupying significant acreage. Genealogists will find several notable burial sites along the southern valley roads, such as the Old Hanover Presbyterian Churchyard and Saint Johns United Methodist Church Cem. The map also captures specialized landmarks like the Yingst Airport and the boulder field known as Devils Race Course, located along the higher elevations near the Appalachian National Scenic Trail.
