About this map

Noxen serves as a central hub in this corner of Pennsylvania, situated where Beaver Run meets Bowman Cr. The landscape is defined by a series of prominent ridges and drainage basins, including South Mountain, Stone Mountain, and Sorber Mountain. These highlands are carved by numerous waterways such as Roaring Run and York Run, which fed the historical development of small valley settlements like Stull and Evans Falls.

To the south, the terrain transitions toward Harveys Lake, a significant local landmark. The map detail highlights a network of local connectors like Hettesheimer Corners and Ruggles, providing a clear view of the rural road systems and property access points as they existed in the early 21st century. The arrangement of features like Grassy Ridge and Beechnut Ridge illustrates the constrained topography that dictated the placement of early mountain roads and homesteads.
