About this map

The Kellersville Esker rises from the landscape near Sciota, a prominent glacial feature in this section of Monroe County. This 2016 survey illustrates the persistent agricultural and small-town character of the region, where older hamlets like Appenzell, Neola, and Bossardsville are linked by a network of rural roads such as Appenzell Rd and Hamilton Rd E. The drainage patterns are clearly defined by McMichael Creek and Cherry Cr, which flow through valleys beneath the prominent ridge of Kittatinny Mtn.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds, including Mount Calvary Cem and Mount Zion Cem, which anchor long-established communities like Kellersville and Hamilton Square. To the south, the Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the crest of Blue Mountain, marking the transition between Monroe and Northampton counties. The map also shows modern local infrastructure, from the Pegasus Air Park to the Nazareth Reservoir, alongside historical water bodies like Saylors Lake.
