About this map

Sugar Valley forms the heart of this landscape, a fertile corridor bounded by the rising slopes of Greene Mountain and Nittany Mountain. The borough of Loganton serves as the primary hub, surrounded by smaller agrarian settlements including Booneville, Greenburr, and Schracktown. This mid-century survey illustrates a community deeply tied to its geography, with life concentrated along the banks of Fishing Creek while the higher elevations are preserved as part of the Bald Eagle State Forest and Tiadaghton State Forest.

Genealogists will find significant local landmarks such as Mt Zion Ch, Mt Pleasant Ch, and several rural burial grounds like Fairview Cem and Old Schracktown Cem. The presence of the Sugar Valley Area Sch and the Roadside Park near Booneville reflects the mid-century infrastructure supporting these isolated valley towns. The northern territory is dominated by the McElhattan Reservoir and a network of logging and forest roads like Kammerdiner Road and Jamison Road, highlighting the region's dual identity as both a farming valley and a timber-rich highland.
