  • EXPANDING and PROTECTING HIKING OPPORTUNITIES in TWENTIETH-CENTURY PENNSYLVANIA Silas Chamberlin
    “TO ENSURE PERMANENCY”: EXPANDING AND PROTECTING HIKING OPPORTUNITIES IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY PENNSYLVANIA Silas Chamberlin Lehigh University n November 1938, a headline buried deep inside the “ Resorts-Travel” section of the New York Times read, “Horseshoe ITrail Open: Bridle-and-Foot Path in Pennsylvania Passes Historic Places.” The article described the character of the new foot and equestrian trail blazed by the Horse Shoe Trail Club of Philadelphia. “Instead of succumbing to the temptation to make the trail easy,” the 116-mile trail followed the “highest ridges” through five southeastern Pennsylvania counties, connecting Valley Forge with the Appalachian Trail at Manada Gap, just outside of Harrisburg. Although reportedly “one of the ‘clean- est’ paths of its type in the country,” the Horse Shoe Trail was “shorter than many another American trail”—a reference to the recently completed Appalachian Trail—and, therefore, “must base its claim to recognition . on the variety of terrain through which it [ran]” and the great number of historic sites it passed. Finally—if natural beauty and historical relevance were not enough—the trail offered good terrain for “enjoying the Southern pennsylvania history: a journal of mid-atlantic studies, vol. 77, no. 2, 2010.

  • Natural Environment & Resources
    Chapter 3 Natural Environment and Resources NATURAL ENVIRONMENT AND RESOURCES INTRODUCTION For Perry County to grow in an orderly, intelligent, and efficient manner, it is essential certain select features of the natural environment are first recognized; and secondly this information is integrated with all the other planning tools and procedures. The purpose of this section is to provide a practical compilation of all the available environmental data as an aid to environmentally sound planning efforts in the County. It is important for government decision makers, residents, and those doing business in the County are keenly aware the County’s natural resources, and the limitations each may pose upon future development of the County. CLIMATE (REGIONAL) Perry County is dominated by atmospheric flow patterns common to Humid Continental type climate. The complex weather systems that influence the area originate in the Central Plains of the United States. As they travel eastward, they are gradually modified by the characteristics of the underlying topography. Moisture in the form of precipitation is lost due to topographic uplift, as the weather systems moving eastward are lifted over the Appalachian Mountain chain. A secondary flow pattern and primary source of heavy precipitation associated with cyclonic circulation forms from the Gulf of Mexico northward through the County. The moist airflow from the Atlantic Ocean, to the east, is a modifying rather than a controlling climatic factor. A considerable amount of moisture is periodically picked up by storms developing and moving up along the southeastern coastline of the United States. Disturbances of this type usually bring moderate to heavy precipitation to the Lower Susquehanna River area due to the general up slope motion of moist air over the area’s rugged terrain.
