About this map

Conodoguinet Creek meanders across this Cumberland County landscape, anchoring a series of rural settlements and historic mill sites. This 2010 survey illustrates the continued importance of the waterway and its tributaries, such as Bloser Creek and Opossum Creek, which feed into the man-made Opossum Lake and its associated Opossum Lake Dam. Local industry and commerce are marked by features like Keiters Mill and Elliotts Mill, while the aviation history of the area is represented by Lash Airport.

Settlement patterns follow the established road network, with small hubs at Plainfield, Blosserville, and Bears Crossroads. The southern portion of the map is defined by agricultural lands and recreation at the Cumberland Golf Course, transitioning into the residential clusters of Mount Rock and Mooredale. The map provides a clear look at the intersection of traditional Pennsylvania water-powered sites and modern infrastructure.
