1900 Map of Mercersburg
USGS Topo · Published 1900About this map
Mercersburg serves as the focal point of this 1900 survey, situated at the base of the ridges where the Cumberland Valley begins its westward ascent. The landscape is defined by the sharp parallel ridges of Tuscarora Mountain and Cove Mountain, creating a series of narrow agricultural pockets like Little Cove Valley. Industrial history is evident in the presence of Richmond Furnace and the Southern Pennsylvania Br. railroad, which provided the necessary transport for iron and timber extracted from the heights of North Mountain and Big Mt.
