[edit] Watershed
The watershed is almost two miles square. [1]The watersheds of the Manada Creek and Swatara Creek in Dauphin and Lebanon Counties contain precious natural, historic, agricultural and scenic resources that have helped to define the character of this region. Their continued existence holds the hope of a sustainable balance between the short term needs of the people who live here, long term needs of the generations to come, and the health of the ecosystem. These resources are being fragmented, destroyed and utilized in an unplanned fashion, with little or no vision of future consequences. There are numerous organizations that have made heartening inroads toward the solutions to these problems elsewhere.
[edit] Manada Gap
The passage through the Blue Mountain, called Manada Gap, is distant from Fort Hunter about twelve miles. Because of this fact, and the necessity for guarding such a prominent gateway to the populous district below, the Government occupied said locality as its next station, in accordance with its general plan of defense.[2]
