About this map

Kittatinny Mountain and Blue Mountain dominate the northwestern horizon of this Franklin County landscape, creating a dramatic backdrop for the valley settlements of Roxbury, Lurgan, and Upper Strasburg. The area is defined by a dense network of country roads and small communal centers, many anchored by longstanding religious sites such as the Old Order York Brethren Church and the Upper Strasburg Mennonite Church.

Tracing the path of Conodoguinet Creek reveals a traditional Pennsylvania agricultural pattern where farmsteads and cemeteries, including the Lurgan Cem and Roxbury Union Cem, cluster along the waterways and lower slopes. To the south, a unique grid of specialized roads like Storage Access Rd, Massachusetts Ave, and Pennsylvania Ave indicates a departure from the rural landscape, while the presence of the Spud View Airport near Keasey Run highlights the modern aviation and light transport character of the region.
