1999 Map of Wertzville

About this map

Cove Mountain and Blue Mountain dominate the central landscape of this Perry and Cumberland County border region, creating a dramatic series of ridgelines separated by the Fishing Creek and Trout Run valleys. The northern portion of the map follows the winding path of Sherman Creek through Dellville, where the Dellville Church stands near the water. Further south, the Conodoguinet Creek meanders through the townships of Middlesex and Silver Spring, passing historic landmarks such as Hustons Mill and several local educational sites including Eckels School and Summers School. The Appalachian National Scenic Trail traverses the crest of the ridges, offering a perspective on the contrast between the protected State Game Lands No 170 and the agricultural settlements like Wertzville and Donnallytown that occupy the lower fertile basins.
