1965 Map of Mifflinburg

About this map

Mifflinburg serves as the central hub of this mid-1960s landscape, where the Penn Central rail line cuts through the heart of the borough. The surrounding countryside of West Buffalo and Lewis townships is a mix of agricultural valley land and high ridges, anchored by Seven Notch Mountain and Limestone Ridge. This survey captures the transition of the local infrastructure during the early 1970s, as evidenced by the presence of Western Area High Sch and the developing Corporate Boundary expansions. Scattered rural settlements like Swengel, Cowan, and White Springs are connected by a network of local routes including Brandon Road and Old Shingle Road. Genealogy researchers will find significant landmarks such as St Peters Ch and Lewis Cem, alongside early industrial traces like the Gravel Pit and Quarry sites that once supported the local economy.
