1960 Map of Blain
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
Tuscarora Mountain and Rising Mountain define this section of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, creating a landscape of narrow agricultural strips separated by heavily forested ridges. The settlement of Blain serves as a local hub near Sherman Creek, while smaller hamlets like New Germantown and Center Square follow the valley floors. These communities are anchored by local landmarks such as Three Springs Ch and Fairview Ch, providing essential reference points for genealogists. Much of the high ground is preserved within the Tuscarora State Forest, where a Lookout Tower stands on Big Knob at the head of Kansas Valley Run. The presence of several pipelines cutting across Horse Valley and the surrounding ridges reflects the post-war expansion of industrial infrastructure through this rural Perry County terrain.
