2016 Map of Richland

About this map

Myerstown and Richland anchor the northern portion of this landscape, where the residential grids of the Evangelical Theological Seminary and local industry meet the fertile plains of the Tulpehocken Cr valley. Moving south, the terrain shifts from the agricultural expanse surrounding Reistville and Flintville into the prominent ridges of the Furnace Hills. This transition is marked by a concentration of historical water sources and landmarks, such as the Schaefferstown Spring and the Lebanon Reservoir. Small crossroads communities like Kleinfeltersville and Buffalo Springs dot the central valley, while the southern border is defined by the Lebanon Co Lancaster Co boundary cutting across high points like Forge Hill and Cannon Hill. The map documents a classic Pennsylvania pattern of valley-floor settlements connected by winding local roads that eventually give way to the wooded heights of the ridge-and-valley province.
