About this map

Blue Mountain divides the northern and southern halves of this rural landscape, with the Appalachian Trail following the ridge crest past Baers Rocks. North of the mountain, Lizard Creek flows through a valley defined by the communities of Leibeyville, Snyders, and Mantz, where the historical rail grade reflects the industrial transport patterns of the mid-20th century. Local landmarks like the Kistler-Longacre Sch and Bolich Sch highlight the distributed educational system of these Pennsylvania townships.

To the south, Ontelaunee Creek winds through the farming settlements of New Tripoli, Lynnport, and Jacksonville. The area is rich in family-named locations and community hubs, including Ontelaunee Park and New Jerusalem Ch. For genealogists, the numerous markers for Cem and specific crossings like Ulrichs Bridge provide exact points for tracing ancestral land tracts and movement through Lynn and Albany townships.
