2016 Map of Aughwick

About this map

The Juniata River winds through the northern portion of this map, separating Silver Ford Heights from the northern ridges. This 2016 survey highlights a deeply indented landscape where Shade Mountain and Blacklog Mountain define narrow, parallel valleys. The central Germany Valley serves as a prominent agricultural corridor, anchored by landmarks such as the Germany Valley Cem and Otelia Mennonite Church. Genealogists will find an exceptional density of burial sites across these ridges, from the Bell's Furnace Cem near the banks of W Licking Cr to the Old Baptist Cem along Croghan Pike. The settlement pattern follows the valley floors, with small communities like Richvale and Aughwick connected by a network of logging roads and county routes that navigate the complex terrain of Loves Valley and Sandy Ridge.
