About this map

Buffalo Mills sits at the base of Wills Mountain, where the Penn Central tracks follow the corridor carved by Wills Creek. This 1960s landscape, photorevised in the early 1970s, reveals a network of small mountain settlements including Madley, Rockville, and Kegg. The topography is dominated by massive ridges like Dry Ridge and Juniata, with the Pennsylvania Turnpike cutting across the northern reaches near Old Union Cem.

Genealogists will find a cluster of rural houses of worship and burying grounds, from Trinity Ch and Lybarger Ch to the Camp Run Cem. The map documents the transition between the agricultural pockets of Milligan Cove and the protected wilderness of State Game Lands No 48. Evidence of local transportation and light industry is visible through the Leap Landing Strip and scattered mineral resources like the Gravel Pit near Londonderry.
