2013 Map of Weikert

About this map

Penns Creek and its many tributaries, including Cherry Run and Weikert Run, dominate this central Pennsylvania landscape. The map captures a high concentration of recreational and youth camps along the water, such as Nik-O-Mahs Camp, Karoondinha Camp, and Wesley Forest Camp, illustrating the area's long-standing role as a retreat for outdoor organizations. The settlement of Weikert serves as a small hub amidst a complex network of gaps and ridges, including Hoofnagle Gap, Wolfe Gap, and Lick Gap. The southern portion of the map transitions into the drainage for Middle Creek, where the small cluster of Middle Creek houses sits near the intersection of Back Mountain Rd and Stage Rd. The intricate trail system, featuring the Wolf Gap Trl and Pine Ridge Trl, highlights the extensive forest access through the ridges of Penns Creek Mtn and Locust Ridge.
