2016 Map of Shippensburg

About this map

Shippensburg sits at the heart of this valley landscape, anchored by the sprawling campus of Shippensburg University. The area's agricultural and institutional heritage is well-defined, where the boundaries of Franklin Co and Cumberland Co meet. Water plays a central role in the local geography, with Conodoguinet Creek winding through the northern reaches while Middle Spring Creek and Rowe Run drain the surrounding fields. Smaller historic clusters such as Orrstown, Middle Spring, and Mowersville appear as distinct rural junctions, often organized around creek crossings or road intersections. The map preserves the locations of local landmarks like Spring Hill Cem and the Veterans Memorial Park, alongside unique natural features like Dykeman Spring, illustrating a region where education, farming, and spring-fed waterways have long shaped the community layout.
