About this map

De Hart Reservoir and the surrounding ridgelines of the Central Pennsylvania mountains dominate this topographic record, which documents a landscape defined by significant military and conservation holdings. The expanse of State Game Lands No 211 and State Game Lands No 210 covers much of the high ground between Peters Mountain and Stony Mountain, while the southern portion of the map reveals the extensive boundaries of the Fort Indiantown Gap Military Reservation.

Lower elevations show the transition from wilderness and training grounds to the settlement at Grantville and the sporting venue of the Penn National Race Course. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the exact locations of sites like St Pauls Cem and the winding path of the Appalachian Trail as it crosses the ridges. Transportation and infrastructure are represented by Interchange 28 and various utility lines, including a Pumping Sta and several pipelines near Manada Gap.
