2019 Map of Morgantown

About this map

Morgantown and Churchtown anchor this detailed study of the southeastern Pennsylvania landscape where the Conestoga River headwaters emerge. The map reveals a dense concentration of local religious and genealogical sites, including numerous Mennonite and Episcopal burial grounds such as the Churchtown Old Order Mennonite Cemetery and the Bangor Episcopal Cemetery. The historical industrial heritage of the area is represented by Joanna Furnace in the east, while smaller settlements like Alleghenyville and Plowville dot the northern hills. The terrain is defined by prominent elevations like Welsh Mountain and Silver Hill, which overlook the winding paths of the West Branch Conestoga River and Hay Creek. This survey captures the region's enduring character as a hub of traditional communities and early iron production.
