About this map

Burnham and the industrial corridors of Mifflin County anchor this 2010 survey, where the valley floor is dense with residential and commercial development. The landscape transitions from the concentrated grid of Yeagertown and Burnham in the south to the more dispersed settlements of Reedsville and Milroy to the north. These communities are physically constrained by the local topography, most notably at the Mann Narrows where Kishacoquillas Creek cuts through the ridges.

Genealogical interest is found in several prominent burial sites including Birch Hill Cemetery, Woodlawn Cemetery, and Old Salem Cemetery. The map also documents a mix of agricultural and recreation spaces, such as Potlicker Flats and Camp Juniata, set against the background of the Kishacoquillas Valley. Named gaps like Short Drive Gap and Will Johns Gap mark the passage through the northern uplands, indicating the historic transit routes between these high-country ridges and the valley settlements.
