About this map

Myerstown and Richland anchor the northern landscape of this region, where the Pennsylvania countryside transitions from agricultural flats into the prominent rises of the Furnace Hills. This area is defined by a complex network of waterways and early water-control infrastructure, including the Tulpehocken Fishing Club Dam on Tulpehocken Creek and the southern Lebanon Reservoir. Small aviation hubs like the Keller Brothers Airport and Lebanon Valley Airpark are situated amidst the fields, reflecting the rural-industrial mix of the early 21st century.

Local history is preserved at the Lapps Cemetery, located centrally near the intersection of several historic road corridors. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the terrain becomes more defined by ridges such as Black Oak Ridge and Forge Hill, where numerous small runs like Segloch Run and Furnace Run carve through the woodland. The small settlement of Johnstown sits at a critical junction of these southern hills and the northern valley floor.
