2010 Map of Swatara Hill

About this map

Upper Little Swatara Creek and its lower counterpart define the drainage patterns of this rural landscape, which includes the small settlements of Rock and Swatara Hill. This era shows a mix of agricultural tradition and recreation, evidenced by the presence of Camp Swatara and the Shikellamy Scout Camp in the southern reaches. Local family histories are etched into the geography via landmarks like Manbeck Cemetery and thoroughfares such as Hetzels Church Rd, Lengle Homestead Rd, and Manbeck Rd. Engineering features like the Sweet Arrow Lake Dam and the Black Creek Intake Dam indicate the management of local water resources for the surrounding communities. The map also highlights established recreation areas, including Eagle View Springs Golf Course and Hidden Valley Golf Course, positioned near the waters of Sweet Arrow Lake.
