1954 Map of Mifflinville

About this map

The Susquehanna River defines the lower third of this landscape, its path flanked by the Conrail line and an industrial corridor near Lime Ridge. In the mid-20th century, this area transitioned from river-bound agriculture to more complex infrastructure, evidenced by the Landing Strip and the growth of communities like Berwick. To the north, the terrain rises sharply into Huntington Mountain and Lee Mountain, where narrow valleys host settlements such as Forks and Pealertown along Fishing Creek. Local history is deeply etched into the hillsides through landmarks like the Old Stone Ch and St Peters Ch, alongside vanished educational sites such as Center Sch. The inclusion of Dennis Mills and Martzville provides a window into the smaller hamlets and family-named locales that populated Columbia County before modern expansion altered the rural fabric.
