2013 Map of Ickesburg

About this map

Ickesburg and its surrounding hamlets occupy a landscape defined by parallel ridges and creek valleys. This survey of central Pennsylvania topography reveals a settlement pattern largely dictated by the terrain of Sherman Ridge and Limestone Ridge. The drainage of Buffalo Cr and its tributaries, including Little Buffalo Cr and Lutman Run, carves through the land, providing the corridors for historic thoroughfares like the Buffalo Trce and the Tuscarora Path. Rural communities such as Roseburg, Eshcol, and Mannsville are connected by a network of local roads and state routes, including Pa-17 and Shermans Valley Rd. The map also identifies culturally significant locations such as the small settlement of Little Germany and family-named landmarks like Asper Hill and Peach Ridge.
