About this map

The settlement of Newburg sits near the southern edge of this landscape, positioned along the banks of Conodoguinet Creek and Newburg Run. The terrain to the north is defined by the sharp elevations of Amberson Ridge and Sherman Mountain, where the Shermans Tower overlooks the narrow valleys of First Narrows and Second Narrows. This region shows a transition from the agricultural bottomlands near McKinney to the protected woodlands of the Frank E Masland Natural Area.

Local history is preserved at the Hanna Cemetery and through numerous family-named landmarks like Fenton Knob and Price Knob. The network of rural roads, including Three Square Hollow Rd and Mountain Rd, follows the drainage patterns of several tributaries such as Peebles Run and Bore Mill Run. The map provides a clear picture of the relationship between the central valley's residential pockets and the steep ridges that hem in the north.
