About this map

Chillisquaque Creek and its various branches, including the West Branch and East Branch, define the rural character of this Central Pennsylvania landscape. The borough of Washingtonville sits at a central crossroads, where a corporate boundary separates the town from the agricultural surroundings of Derry and Limestone townships. Local education and community life are anchored by the DeLong Memorial Sch and several country churches like St James Ch and Trinity Ch.

Industrial and transport patterns of the late 1960s and 1970s are visible through the Conrail lines and a large Powerplant near Strawberry Ridge. The presence of a Covered Bridge and a Quarry near Limestone Ridge highlights the mixture of nineteenth-century infrastructure and modern resource extraction. Smaller hamlets such as Exchange, Ottawa, and White Hall dot the uplands, while the Landing Strip near Ottawa indicates the evolving regional aviation of the era.
