About this map

Mount Holly Springs sits at the northern end of a valley where Mountain Cr cuts through the ridges of the South Mountain range. This 2019 survey documents a landscape defined by the winding corridor of the Appalachian National Scenic Trail as it traverses the wooded uplands between Toland and Hunters Run. The southern portion of the map transitions into the agricultural and orchard lands of northern Adams County, where small crossroads settlements like Idaville, Peach Glen, and Gardners are established along the drainage of Bermudian Cr.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the variety of burial grounds shown, including the Mount Holly Colored Cem and several rural church yards like the Mount Zion Lutheran Church Cem. The map illustrates the persistent settlement patterns of central Pennsylvania, where historic hamlets such as Goodyear, Myerstown, and Uriah remain connected by traditional routes like the Baltimore Pike and Carlisle Rd.
