1999 Map of Plainfield

About this map

Conodoguinet Creek meanders through the heart of this Cumberland County landscape, dividing the townships of Upper Frankford and West Pennsboro. The 1999 topography reflects a deeply rooted rural infrastructure where 19th-century educational and religious centers remained prominent landmarks into the modern era. While the Pennsylvania Turnpike and its modern Rest Area cut a straight path across the terrain, the map is punctuated by numerous local institutions like the McAllister School and Church and the Opossum Hill Union Church. The presence of the Waterloo School (Abandoned) and various family-named schoolhouses such as the Locust Point School and Savannah School provide a clear view of the historical school district layout. From the village of Plainfield to the scattered crossroads like Elliottson and Greason, this survey documents the persistent settlement patterns of the Cumberland Valley.
