2023 Map of Ickesburg

About this map

The rolling terrain of central Perry County is defined by a series of parallel ridges, including Tuscarora Mountain and Raccoon Ridge, that channel the local road network and the flow of Buffalo Creek. This landscape is dotted with long-established rural hamlets such as Ickesburg, Roseburg, and Mannsville. These small communities serve as anchors for a network of historic burial grounds and congregations, from the Eshcol Memorial Cem in the north to the Little Germany Church Cem near the southern boundary. The map illustrates how local geography dictated settlement patterns, with roads like Raccoon Valley Rd and Shermans Valley Rd following the natural contours between the prominent heights of Hominy Ridge and Peach Ridge. This modern survey provides a clear view of the enduring rural character and genealogical landmarks of the region.
