2019 Map of Barrville

About this map

Barrville and the surrounding agricultural valleys of Mifflin County appear in high detail on this contemporary survey, showing a landscape defined by sharp mountain ridges and deep hollows. The map traces the rugged topography of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, where features like Big Kettle, Treaster Kettle, and Rag Hollow reveal the complex local geography. Several small family and community burial grounds, including the Barryville Mennonite Cem and Yoder Zook Cem, are documented here, providing valuable data for genealogists tracking lineages in this rural stretch of Pennsylvania. The transition from the high, wooded slopes of Stone Mountain and Broad Mountain to the flat expanse of the Kishacoquillas Valley illustrates the region's historic land-use patterns, from timbered heights to valley floor farming. Modern infrastructure is also present, notably the Mifflin County Airport and the network of forest roads and trails such as the Tussey Mountain Trail.
