2016 Map of Newburg

About this map

Newburg and McKinney anchor the agricultural and valley corridors of this 2016 survey, where the borders of Franklin, Cumberland, and Perry Counties converge. The landscape is defined by the parallel ridges of Amberson Ridge, Sherman Mtn, and Blue Mountain, creating the deep Gunter Valley and numerous named gaps like the First Narrows and Second Narrows. The hydrology of the region is complex, with Conodoguinet Creek flowing through the southern lowland while various runs, including Laughlin Run and Newburg Run, drain the slopes of Mid Ridge. Genealogists may find interest in Hanna Cem and the various family-named roads that suggest long-standing land tenures. Modern infrastructure like the Interstate 76 corridor bisects the terrain, contrasting with older landmarks like Old Saw Mill Ln and Covered Bridge Rd, reflecting the evolution of rural Pennsylvania transportation.
