Tallauf

Tallauf is a small, unincorporated community located in rural Adams County, Pennsylvania. Situated in the southeastern part of the county, it lies a short distance from the Maryland border. The area is characterized by rolling farmland and wooded hills, typical of the Appalachian foothills.

Historically, Tallauf developed as a small agricultural settlement. Like many rural communities in the region, its growth was tied to the development of farming and local industries that supported it. Over time, it has remained a predominantly residential area with a scattering of farms.

The community does not have its own municipal government and is administered as part of Adams County. Essential services such as road maintenance and emergency response are provided by county and regional agencies. There are no major commercial centers within Tallauf itself, with residents typically traveling to nearby towns for shopping, employment, and other services.

The geography of Tallauf is defined by its position within the Piedmont region of Pennsylvania. The land is drained by various small streams and tributaries that eventually feed into larger river systems. The climate is temperate, with four distinct seasons. Due to its rural nature, Tallauf offers a quiet, country living environment.
