About this map

Tuscarora Mountain and a series of prominent ridges define this section of Perry County, where the Juniata Co Perry Co line follows the high ground. The landscape is characterized by a distinctive parallel ridge-and-valley pattern, with Raccoon Ridge, Sherman Ridge, and Hominy Ridge carving the terrain into narrow corridors. Within these valleys, small settlements like Ickesburg, Eshcol, and Roseburg serve as local hubs, connected by winding routes such as Veterans Way and Liberty Valley Rd.

Water plays a central role in the geography, with Buffalo Cr and its tributaries, including Little Buffalo Cr and Lutman Run, draining the southern slopes. The map captures the enduring rural character of the region, from the Eshcol Memorial Cem to the namesake heights of Mahanoy Ridge and Peach Ridge. This 2016 record preserves the placement of family-named roads and landmarks like Little Germany, providing a detailed look at the township's layout.
