Warriors Mark Township is nestled in a pastoral valley between two ridges in Central Pennsylvania, and is a place of great natural beauty. Much of the land in the Township is farmed, and our Township is very rural. From a land planning standpoint, the Township considers itself progressive, in that, unlike many of its municipal neighbors, the Township has enacted a Zoning Ordinance. The Township also has a Stormwater Management Ordinance, and a Subdivision and Land Development Ordinance.
