2023 Map of Hughesville

About this map

Hughesville serves as the primary hub in this corner of Pennsylvania, where the waters of Sugar Run and Greggs Run meet the larger Muncy Creek. The settlement pattern reflects a landscape defined by sharp elevation changes, particularly in the southern half where the Muncy Hills rise above the drainage of the West Branch Chillisquaque Creek. Outside the main town, smaller clusters like Clarkstown and Moreland are interspersed with several family and community burial grounds, including Pleasant Hill Cem and the Moreland Baptist Cem. The northern terrain is marked by significant ridges such as Metler Ridge and Ball Ridge, separated by deep cuts like Miller Hollow. This map traces a sophisticated network of rural roads that navigate these geological barriers, connecting isolated settlements to the larger valley economies.
