2016 Map of Mercersburg

About this map

Tuscarora Mountain and Cove Mtn dominate the western horizon of this Pennsylvania landscape, framing the narrow Little Cove Valley along the Fulton Co and Franklin Co line. The historic borough of Mercersburg serves as the primary hub, where significant routes like Buchanan Trl W and Fort Loudon Rd converge. This 2016 survey illustrates a traditional agricultural and residential pattern, preserved in small settlements such as Charlestown, Shimpstown, and Claylick. Waterways like Licking Cr and the West Branch Conococheague Creek drain the lowlands between the ridges, while specific local landmarks like Cove Gap and Mercersburg Junction provide points of interest for genealogists tracing family locations in this long-settled corner of the Cumberland Valley.
