2019 Map of Blain

About this map

New Germantown and Blain anchor this survey of the high ridges and deep valleys along the Juniata Co Perry Co line. The landscape is defined by the sharp parallel crests of the Appalachian ridge-and-valley system, notably Tuscarora Mtn and Conococheague Mtn. Between these heights, agriculture and small settlements like Mount Pleasant and Center Square follow the path of Shermans Cr. This region maintains a traditional rural character, where local roads like Big Spring Rd and Germantown Rd connect historic burial grounds such as Eby Cem and Blain Cem. The map reveals how the terrain dictates human movement, funneling travel through points like Little Gap and Winns Gap while preserving secluded areas such as Horse Valley and Kansas Valley.
