2010 Map of Walnut Bottom

About this map

Yellow Breeches Creek defines the northern reaches of this Cumberland County landscape, winding past the settlements of Walnut Bottom and Brookside. In this early 21st-century survey, the intersection of transport and industry is evident, from the Shippensburg Airport near Cleversburg Junction to the legacy of iron production at Big Pond Furnace. The southern terrain rises toward the ridges of Tobacco Patch Mountain and Long Mountain, sheltering the Chambersburg Reservoir in Reservoir Hollow. Local genealogy is anchored in small, established communities like Lees Cross Roads, Stoughstown, and Cleversburg, which are linked by a dense network of rural roads such as Mud Level Rd and Springfield Rd. The presence of the Big Flat Tower on the southern high ground and the peculiar Cleversburg Sink highlight the area's diverse topographical and utilitarian landmarks.
