About this map

Waynesboro serves as the focal point of this survey, where the street grid is marked by civil landmarks such as the Armory, Jr High Sch, and the 713 Library. To the north, the Penn State University (Mont Alto Campus) sits at the base of the heavily forested slopes of Michaux State Forest. The map documents a transition from the agricultural valley floor, dotted with small hamlets like Quinsonia, Altenwald, and Zullinger, to the significant elevation of Montalto Mountain and Rocky Mountain.

Genealogists and local historians will find value in the density of small rural religious sites, including Betterhoff Ch, St Pauls Ch, and the Prices Ch Cem. The landscape is etched with the courses of the West Branch Antietam Creek and the East Branch, which carve paths toward the gap at The Narrows. Smaller settlements such as Knepper, Five Forks, and Tomstown reflect the scattered residential patterns of Franklin County in the late 20th century.
