About this map

The borough of Middleburg serves as the central hub of this mid-1960s survey, positioned where the Penn Central railroad tracks parallel the winding course of Middle Creek. The landscape transition is defined by the steep slopes of Jacks Mountain and Shade Mountain, which hem in the agricultural and industrial valley. Pockets of local history are preserved in the numerous rural congregations and burying grounds, such as St Lukes Ch in Kissimmee and the Salem Ch Cem to the north.

Industrial activity is evident near Paxtonville, where a claypit and kilns are noted, while the town of Middleburg shows expansion within its corporate boundary, including a High Sch and sewage disposal facilities. Further north, the settlement of Penns Creek sits near a gaging station on the waterway of the same name, reflecting the region's reliance on its stream network and the surrounding Bald Eagle State Forest.
