About this map

Kittatinny Mountain and Blue Mountain dominate the northern landscape of this Franklin County region, where the steep ridgelines of Timmons Mountain overlook narrow valleys carved by Pine Run and Dothan Run. Small agricultural settlements like Roxbury, Lurgan, and Upper Strasburg dot the lowlands, connected by a network of rural roads that follow the contours of the terrain. The presence of numerous specialized burial grounds, such as the Old Order York Brethren Cem and Upper Strasburg Mennonite Church Cem, suggests a long-standing and diverse religious community deeply rooted in the local soil.

Water management is central to the area, evidenced by the Letterkenny Reservoir tucked into Gunter Valley. In the plains to the south, Conodoguinet Creek meanders past Pleasant Hall, providing a primary drainage route for the surrounding farms. Modern utility is represented by the Spud View Airport, while the complex road system including Upper Strasburg Rd and Roxbury Rd continues to define the movement of people and goods through this traditional Pennsylvania corridor.
