About this map

Kishacoquillas Valley anchors the southeastern landscape of this 1966 survey, where the rolling agricultural floor meets the steep ascent of Standing Stone Mountain. The small settlement of Barrville serves as a focal point near the mountain's base, supported by local institutions like the Barrville Sch and nearby Mountain View Sch. To the northwest, the terrain shifts dramatically into a series of ridges and gaps, including Stone Gap and Bailey Gap, which define the rugged boundary between Mifflin Co, Huntingdon Co, and Centre Co.

Extensive forest conservation and recreation areas occupy the high ridges, notably the Detweiler Run Natural Area and the Penn Roosevelt Campground. The presence of the Mifflin County Airport and the Laurel Creek Reservoir indicates the infrastructure developments of the mid-20th century. Local family history is preserved in sites such as Long Lane Cem and Hooleys Cem, while numerous springs like Chestnut Spring and McKinney Spring suggest the traditional water sources for the valley's upland homesteads.
