About this map

Barrville and the winding course of Kishacoquillas Creek define the central valley of this 2010 Mifflin County landscape. The terrain is characterized by a series of parallel ridges and gaps, including Broad Mountain and Thickhead Mountain, which create natural corridors for roads like Stone Creek Rd and Barrville Mountain Rd. This layout reflects the traditional Appalachian ridge-and-valley settlement pattern, where small communities like Kishacoquillas and Alexander Springs are situated in the more accessible lowlands.

Local landmarks such as Greenwood Furnace and the Greenwood Tower point to the area's industrial and forestry heritage. For those researching local families, the inclusion of Long Lane Cemetery and Hooleys Cemetery provides specific points of interest. Modern infrastructure is represented by the Mifflin County Airport and Laurel Creek Reservoir, showing how the land has been managed for utility alongside protected spaces like the Thickhead State Wildlife Area.
