About this map

McClure stands at the center of this rural landscape, where the South Branch Middle Creek cuts through the valley floor. The settlement pattern here follows the narrow gaps and ridges of central Pennsylvania, with smaller hamlets like Bannerville and Lowell connected by a network of older thoroughfares such as Old Stage Rd and Decatur Rd. The southern portion of the area transitions into the watershed of Lost Creek, which winds toward McAlisterville.

Genealogists will find significant detail in the placement of community burial grounds, including Union Cemetery near McClure and Hillside Cemetery further south. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent gaps and peaks, notably Roundtop, Little Roundtop, and Tennis Gap. Industrial remnants are represented by Raubs Mills along Beaver Creek, reflecting the local historical reliance on water-powered milling. This document captures the intersection of residential growth and the enduring agricultural and mountain geography of Mifflin and Snyder counties.
