Long, roughly parallel ridges and valleys follow folded and faulted rock layers. Limestone valleys, sandstone ridges and other geologic contrasts produce varied terrain and numerous regional springs and caves.

FROM LOCAL CONTEXT TO YOUR PARCEL

Three questions for
Ashland land.

These starting questions follow this location’s jurisdiction, regional setting, and nearby geography. The answers come from the property itself.

01

Start with the right county for Ashland

Which of Columbia County, Schuylkill County appears on the tax bill? Save that county’s parcel number along with the street or map location. A city name by itself is not sufficient for this cross-county place.

02

Read the Northern Sandstone Ridges setting

Northern Sandstone Ridges belongs to Ridge and Valley. Does the parcel follow a valley floor or cross a ridge, and which site-specific water and access records are available?

03

Check the route, beyond Fountain Springs

Fountain Springs is 1.1 miles southeast of the Ashland reference point. That geographic proximity does not establish a drivable route or legal access. Which road reaches your land, and is the right to use it recorded?
