Geography
[edit]The small settlement is located along Street Road (which runs along the township line) at its intersection with Ridge Road. As the latter road's name implies, it is located along a ridge (at an estimated elevation of 220 feet (67 m) above sea level[1]) between Pidcock Creek and Curls Run, approximately three and a half miles (5.6 km) southeast of New Hope.
There are a few houses located around the settlement; the remainder consists of farms and properties containing large houses over rolling terrain.[3]
