About this map

Swatara Creek carves a central path through this section of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, defining the development of communities like Pine Grove and Ravine. The landscape is dominated by high ridges including Broad Mountain and Blue Mountain, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trl follows the southern border. The transition from industrial use to recreational conservation is evident in the Swatara Rail Trl, which utilizes former transportation corridors along the water.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites and rural congregations, particularly concentrated in the southern lowlands. These include the Haldeman Family Cem and the Suedberg Church of God Cem. The map also documents modern aviation at Fairview Farm Airfield and smaller settlements like Suedberg, Joliett, and Keffers that sit near the headwaters of Wiconisco Creek and Lower Rausch Creek.
