2010 Map of Mexico

About this map

Juniata River and the historic path of the Pennsylvania Canal define the southern landscape of this central Pennsylvania region. Small unincorporated communities and rural settlements are scattered throughout the hills, including Mexico, Tuscarora, Vandyke, and Locust Run. The transport infrastructure follows the natural corridors of the river valley, while further north, the terrain rises toward Lost Creek Ridge and Moyer Ridge. This area is particularly rich in family and local history markers, evidenced by a high density of rural burial grounds such as Rothrock Cemetery, Adams Cemetery, and Bookwalter Cemetery. Economic and social life is anchored by locations like Jericho Mills, Oakland Mills, and the Allen Grove Camp, reflecting a landscape deeply tied to its watercourses like Lost Creek and Cedar Spring Run.
