About this map

Conococheague Creek carves a central path through this Franklin County landscape, anchoring a network of small agricultural and rail-oriented settlements. The village of Scotland serves as a notable hub where the Penn Central rail lines intersect the drainage of the creek, and is home to the Soldiers Orphan Sch. To the east, the terrain rises sharply into the ridgelines of Southampton and Greene townships, featuring prominent landmarks such as Stony Knob and Eagle Rock.

The map reveals a transition from the rolling valley floor near Stoufferstown and Green Village to the wooded slopes of Mt Cydonia. Local infrastructure is well-defined, from the Shippensburg Reservoir in the northeast to several rural schoolhouses like Mt Vernon Sch and Grand Point Sch. This 1944 survey, updated with purple photorevisions from the late 1960s and early 1970s, documents the early expansion of residential pockets near Fayetteville and West Fayetteville alongside established orchard and farm lands.
