About this map

Shade Gap and Neelyton anchor this 2013 survey of rural Pennsylvania, where the landscape is defined by the sharp parallel ridges of the Appalachians. The terrain features prominent landmarks such as Pine Ridge, Hunting Ridge, and Jerrys Ridge, which direct the flow of numerous waterways like Tuscarora Cr and the N Br Little Aughwick Cr. The map captures a primarily agricultural and residential corridor connected by historic routes including Croghan Pike and Path Valley Rd.

Small settlements such as Spring Run, Dry Run, and Nossville are visible, alongside specialized facilities like the Mills Brothers Airport. The presence of these villages along the winding paths of Dry Run and the W Br Conococheague Cr reflects a settlement pattern closely tied to the valleys. For researchers, the map provides a detailed view of the road network, from major state routes to local township roads like Shatzer Rd and Mountain Green Rd.
