2016 Map of Barrville

About this map

Barrville and Alexander Springs lie at the transition from the steep ridges of the Seven Mountains to the valley floor in Mifflin and Huntingdon Counties. This 2016 survey highlights a complex network of forest roads and hiking paths, such as the John Wert Trail and Tussey Mountain Trail, crossing through high points like Thickhead Mtn and Stone Mtn. The landscape is defined by its numerous gaps and kettles, including Treaster Kettle and Polyann Gap, which have historically dictated the movement of travelers and water through the region. Down in the valley, the Mifflin County Airport and small settlements like Kishacoquillas sit near the winding Kishacoquillas Creek. Local genealogy is anchored by sites such as Hooleys Cem and Long Lane Cem, which offer physical connections to the area's early residents.
