1969 Map of Millersburg

About this map

Millersburg sits at the heart of this Pennsylvania river landscape, where the Wiconisco Creek meets the broad Susquehanna River. The map captures the region's transport evolution, showing the Penn Central railroad following the riverbanks while a historic Ferry still crosses the water to the west. Broad ridges like Mahantango Mountain and Berry Mountain frame the agricultural valleys of Upper Paxton and Halifax, where small settlements such as Killinger and Rife are centered around country churches like Salem Ch and Zion Ch. The presence of several islands, including Sweigarts Island and Crafts Island, illustrates the complex braided nature of the Susquehanna in this reach. Local landmarks, from the Covered Bridge on the Wiconisco to the Oak Hill Cem above the borough, provide a detailed record of the mid-century community footprint.
