2018 Map of Perry East

About this map

McKee Creek and its many branches, including the Middle Fork McKee Cr and South Fork McKee Creek, dominate this landscape at the border of Brown and Pike Counties. The village of Chambersburg sits near a prominent bend in the creek, while Perry anchors the western edge of the quadrangle. The area is defined by its deep genealogical footprint, with numerous family-named burial sites scattered across the township lines. Noteworthy locations include the Suratt Burial Ground, Newenham Cem, and Calhoun Cem, which offer significant points of interest for local historians. Infrastructure is primarily rural, marked by landmarks like the Ritter Bridge and Varder Bridge crossing the winding waterways. The map also details several agricultural water management features, such as the Hambaugh-Martin Number 1 Reservoir, reflecting the region's reliance on the creek system for local land use.
