2010 Map of Hopewell

About this map

Tussey Mountain and River Mountain define the prominent ridge-and-valley structure of this central Pennsylvania corridor. The landscape is dotted with small agricultural and former industrial settlements including Woodbury, Waterside, and Hopewell. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of numerous family-linked burial grounds such as Replogle Cemetery, Steele Cemetery, and Saint Lukes Cemetery. The eastern boundary is shaped by the winding Raystown Branch Juniata River, which passes through Stonerstown and Riddlesburg. Transport and drainage patterns are established by the many runs and creeks flowing through the gaps, most notably Yellow Creek, Maple Run, and Clover Creek. This 2010 survey reflects a region where traditional rural naming conventions persist in locales like Little Jack Corners and Eichelbergertown.
