About this map

Conococheague Creek winds through the central valley of this Franklin County landscape, serving as a primary drainage for a region defined by its numerous historic congregations and burial grounds. The settlement pattern clusters around established routes like Lincoln Way E, with clusters of development at Fayetteville and Scotland. This area is a significant focal point for genealogical research, featuring numerous local cemeteries such as the Witwer Farm Graveyard, Mentzers Graveyard, and the Greenvillage Lutheran Cem.

The eastern portion of the map rises sharply into the ridgelines of South Mountain, where the Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the heights near Pleasant Peak and Mount Cydonia. This transition from the fertile valley floor to the forested slopes of South Mountain includes critical local infrastructure like the Shippensburg Reservoir and the Caledonia Water Company Pond, illustrating the relationship between the upland water sources and the communities below.
