About this map

Mifflinburg sits as a central hub in this detailed look at the Union and Snyder County border region during the late 1930s. The landscape is defined by the sharp ridges of Jacks Mountain and Shamokin Mountain, which funnel settlement into the fertile valleys of Penns Creek and Middle Creek. In the western reaches, the Laurelton State Village complex and Rock Oak Park represent significant landmarks of the era's social and recreational infrastructure.

Further south, the rural economy is anchored by small crossroad communities like Troxelville and Paxtonville, where numerous country schools and churches—such as Herman Sch and St Peters Ch—served as the vital centers of local life. The Pennsylvania Railroad tracks link the larger boroughs of Middleburg and Beavertown, illustrating the importance of rail transit to the agricultural and milling operations typified by Moyers Mill.
