1952 Map of Landisburg

About this map

Loysville and Landisburg serve as the primary hubs in this Perry County landscape, which transitions from the agricultural valleys of Tyrone and Northeast Madison to the prominent ridges of Blue Mountain. The map details a community deeply rooted in its local institutions, from the Tressler Orphan Home in the north to the Hidden Valley Boy Scout Camp along the winding Sherman Creek. This mid-century view captures the area as it stood before significant modern development, preserving the locations of rural schoolhouses like the Spring Dale Sch and Oak Grove School. An Old Railroad Grade north of Loysville hints at former industrial connections, while a network of cemeteries and country churches, such as Mount Zion Church and the McClures Gap Cemetery, provides essential data for genealogical research across the Cumberland and Perry County border.
