1959 Map of Aughwick

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Juniata River carves through the northern reaches of this landscape, where the settlements of Kistler and Allenport sit at the base of Silver Ford Heights. To the south, the terrain is dominated by a series of long, parallel ridges including Tuscarora Mountain and Blacklog Mountain, which shelter agricultural corridors like Germany Valley and Blacklog Valley. This 1959 survey, updated in the early 1970s, captures the rural character of central Pennsylvania, from the grounds of the Shirley Home for the Aged near Shirleysburg to the remote reaches of Tuscarora State Forest. Industrial and utility infrastructure is evident in the Mt Union Airport and the prominent pipelines that traverse the ridges. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by numerous country landmarks, such as Stone Ch, Valley Point Ch, and family cemeteries like Shope Cem and Book Cem.
