2010 Map of Mifflintown

About this map

The Juniata River carves a central path through this section of central Pennsylvania, dictating the development of riverside settlements like Mifflintown and Port Royal. In the northern reach, the river squeezes through the Macedonia Gap between Shade Mountain and Arch Rock, where transportation corridors like Old Route 22 and the William Penn Hwy converge. This 2010 survey highlights the rural-industrial character of the landscape, noting landmarks such as Zooks Dam and the Mifflintown Airport. Genealogy researchers will find several well-defined burial sites, including Union Cemetery and Church Hill Cemetery, which serve as anchors for the local community history. To the south, the terrain opens into valleys fed by Tuscarora Creek and Markee Creek, where smaller hamlets like Walnut and Old Port sit amidst a network of winding county roads like Groninger Valley Rd.
