1966 Map of Madisonburg

About this map

Nittany Mountain and its surrounding ridge-and-valley terrain define the landscape of central Pennsylvania as recorded in this 1966 survey. The map reveals a series of parallel agricultural corridors including Sugar Valley, Brush Valley, and Penn Valley, where small settlements like Madisonburg and Hublersburg serve as local hubs. These valleys are connected by distinct mountain passes such as Gingerich Gap, Markle Gap, and Lees Gap, which dictate the movement of roads and historical transit through the region.
