About this map

Mifflinburg serves as the central hub of this mid-1960s survey, showing a well-defined town grid intersected by the Pennsylvania railroad line. The landscape transitions from the developed borough to the agricultural fields and forested heights of Seven Notch Mountain and Jones Mountain. Notable landmarks include the Western Area High Sch, a substantial quarry, and various gravel pits that suggest the local extraction industries of the era.

Smaller hamlets such as Forest Hill, Tannertown, and Swengel are documented along the winding routes of Buffalo Creek and Rapid Run. These settlements, often centered around landmarks like St Peters Ch or the Lewis Cem, reflect the rural character of Union County before modern expansion. The map also delineates the boundaries of the Bald Eagle State Forest and State Game Lands No 201, highlighting the preserved wildlands surrounding the Buffalo Valley.
