About this map

Sherman Ridge and Peach Ridge dominate the central landscape of this Perry County quadrangle, where a network of valley settlements follows the winding paths of Buffalo Creek and Raccoon Creek. The village of Ickesburg serves as a primary local crossroads, situated just south of the Tuscarora Wild Area. The map reveals a deeply etched agricultural and residential pattern, with numerous hollows like Jackson Hollow Rd and Rock Hollow Rd providing access to the higher elevations.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the distribution of small communities including Eshcol, Roseburg, and Little Germany, alongside landmarks such as Eshcol Memorial Cemetery and the Waller Airport near Elliottsburg. The land use is defined by a rhythmic alternation of wooded ridges and farmed valleys, with several named runs and creeks like Lutman Run and Montour Creek draining the limestone-rich terrain.
