About this map

Brush Valley and Nittany Valley dominate the landscape of central Pennsylvania, separated by the massive ridge of Nittany Mtn. This survey captures the agricultural and ecclesiastical heart of the region, anchored by settlements like Madisonburg and Hublersburg. The area is notably dense with burial grounds, including the Madisonburg Lutheran and Reformed Cem and United Church of Christ and Lutheran Cem, reflecting the deep-rooted German heritage common in these limestone valleys.

Surface drainage is defined by gaps and runs, with Bear Hollow Run and Roaring Run cutting through the steep terrain. To the south, the famous Penns Cave Spring emerges near Penns Valley, a significant hydrological landmark in the region's karst topography. The map also documents the specialized Penns Cave Airport and smaller hamlets like Snydertown and Green Grove, providing a clear view of the rural township structure in the early 21st century.
