2013 Map of Butler Knob

About this map

Silver Mine Knob and the Jacks Mountain Firetower overlook a landscape of deep gaps and ridges in this part of Huntingdon County. The terrain is defined by its numerous named passages, such as Querry Gap, Millers Gap, and Old Womans Gap, which have historically dictated the movement of people and commerce through the central Pennsylvania Appalachians. Smaller settlements like Latta Grove and Monroe Valley are situated along the valley floors, where water sources like Hares Valley Cr and Singers Gap Run provide the primary drainage. The presence of the Singers Gap Reservoir and landmarks like the Runk Bridge reflect the local infrastructure managed within this ridge-and-valley system. This survey illustrates how the geography of features like Chestnut Ridge and Renecker Ridge continues to shape the road network, including Croghan Pike and the winding Wrangletown Rd.
