2010 Map of Aughwick

About this map

Shirleysburg and the surrounding river valleys of central Pennsylvania appear here in this modern era survey, characterized by deep-rooted family settlements and numerous burial grounds. The Juniata River winds through the northern portion of the quadrangle near Allenport, while Aughwick Creek and Blacklog Creek carve through the parallel ridges that define the local topography. This landscape is marked by its many distinct cemeteries, such as the Otelia Mennonite Church Cemetery and Saint Catherine Cemetery, which reflect the region's diverse cultural and religious history. The terrain transitions from the broader agricultural lands of Germany Valley to the steep, wooded slopes of Mine Bank Ridge and Big Ridge. Evidence of early industry remains visible through labels like Bell's Furnace Cemetery, while the modern community is represented by sites like the Bible to Youth Camp and the critical Mount Union Reservoir tucked into the northeastern hills.
