About this map

The borough of Middleburg serves as a central hub in this mid-1960s topographic survey of Snyder County, which also includes 1973 photorevisions to track local development. The landscape is defined by the significant topographic relief of Jacks Mountain and Shade Mountain, with the Penn Central railroad corridor and Middle Creek following the valley floors. This area preserves a dense concentration of ecclesiastical and family history, evidenced by numerous rural landmarks such as St Lukes Ch, Hassingers Ch, and Boyer Ch Cem.

Smaller settlements like Kissimmee and Coon Hunter are recorded alongside legacy industrial sites, including a Claypit and Gravel Pit. The map captures the agricultural and timbered character of central Pennsylvania, with the Bald Eagle State Forest and State Game Lands No 201 framing the northern and southern ridges, while names like Limestone Ridge and Block Ore Ridge hint at the geological resources that once shaped the region's extraction history.
