2019 Map of Richland

About this map

Schaefferstown and the surrounding Pennsylvania Dutch countryside are defined by a dense concentration of religious and genealogical sites. The landscape is characterized by its agricultural heritage and numerous denominational meeting houses, such as the Heidelberg Church of the Brethren Cem and Richland Mennonite Church Cem. Small crossroads settlements like Reistville, Flintville, and Buffalo Springs dot the area north of the Furnace Hills. The map provides significant detail for researchers of local family history, noting small plots like the Schenck Family Graveyard and Brubacher Cem. In the southern portion of the sheet, the terrain rises into wooded ridges where Furnace Run and Segloch Run originate, while the northern valleys are marked by the winding path of Tulpehocken Cr near Myerstown.
