About this map

The Soldiers Orphan Sch stands as a significant landmark in Scotland, north of where the Pennsylvania railroad line intersects with the winding Conococheague Creek. This mid-1940s landscape in Franklin County reflects a dense network of rural communities, where small settlements like Green Village, Smoketown, and Woodstock are connected by a mix of light-duty roads and the primary three-lane corridor through Fayetteville. The transition from the agricultural plains in Greene and Guilford townships to the sharp elevation of the South Mountain range is immediate, with prominent heights like Eagle Rock and Pleasant Peak overlooking the valley.

Local education and industry are well-documented through numerous schools such as Sharps Sch and Grand Point Sch, alongside industrial markers like Orebank Hill and the Water Tank near the tracks. The presence of the Shippensburg Reservoir and various runs including Phyllaman Run and Kettle Springs Run highlights the importance of water management for these developing boroughs and the surrounding farmland.
