2013 Map of Hopewell

About this map

Morrisons Cove defines the northwestern corner of this landscape, where the settlement of Woodbury sits along the banks of Yellow Creek. The terrain is shaped by the parallel ridges of Tussey Mountain and River Mountain, creating a series of narrow valleys like Woodcock Valley. In the southeast, the Raystown Branch Juniata River winds past several closely grouped communities, including Hopewell, Riddlesburg, and Stonerstown. This river corridor was historically significant for transport and industry, as evidenced by the dense network of small settlements and local roads like Old Pike Road. Small crossroads like Cottles Corner and Little Jack Corners link the productive valley lands to the gaps in the mountains, such as Ravers Gap and Loysburg Gap.
