About this map

Kishacoquillas Valley dominates this 1963 survey, illustrating a landscape defined by parallel ridges and fertile farming bottomlands. The village of Allensville serves as a central hub, situated along the base of Jacks Mountain. This area of Mifflin County shows a significant cultural footprint through its religious and educational sites, including the Mennonite Cem, Presbyterian Cem, and the Wesley Chapel at Jackson Corner.

Agricultural and forest management patterns are evident across Rothrock State Forest and the surrounding townships. The intricate network of smaller settlements like Menno, Rockville, and Sharpsburg are connected by historical routes such as Waynesburg Road and Telephone Road. Waterways like Kishacoquillas Creek and its tributaries, including Saddler Run and Soft Run, provide the drainage system for these deep valleys, while landmarks like the Fire Tower on the ridge offer a glimpse into the era's conservation infrastructure.
