About this map

Wertzville and the surrounding Ridge and Valley province of central Pennsylvania are defined by the rhythmic sequence of parallel mountain ridges and water gaps. The landscape is anchored by the winding course of the Conodoguinet Cr in the south and the Susquehanna River at the northeast corner, where Cox Island sits near the riverbank. This 2013 survey illustrates the enduring rural character of Cumberland and Perry counties, where old settlement nodes like Donnellytown, Keystone, and Dellville follow the valley floors between Cove Mountain and Little Mountain.

Evidence of local industry and infrastructure is visible at Hustons Mill and the Deitch Airport, while the Marysville Reservoir nestled near Lambs Gap highlights early water management for the region. Modern residential clusters like Kinkora Heights contrast with the historical paths indicated by Dutch Cemetery Rd and the Towpath Rd along the river. This map is particularly valuable for tracing the placement of numerous gaps, such as Millers Gap and Deans Gap, which have historically dictated the movement of people and commerce through these formidable ridges.
