2016 Map of Beavertown

About this map

Jacks Mountain and Penns Creek Mtn dominate the landscape of central Pennsylvania in this 2016 survey, defining a valley defined by the long ridges of the Appalachian Mountains. The boundary between Union Co and Snyder Co runs along these heights, where the Middle Ridge Trail follows the spine of Mid Ridge. In the lowlands, the settlement pattern is shaped by the winding courses of Penns Creek to the north and Middle Creek to the south. Central to this area is Walker Lake, which sits between the rural hamlets of Troxelville and Benfer. The map provides detailed placement of local landmarks including the Union Cem, Gilfert Airport, and the larger communities of Beavertown and Beaver Springs, reflecting a region where agriculture and small-town centers remain anchored to the narrow valleys.
