1969 Map of Millersburg

About this map

Millersburg sits as the central hub of this Susquehanna River landscape, where the Penn Central railroad parallels the river's eastern bank. The terrain is defined by the massive ridges of Mahantango Mountain and Berry Mountain, which constrict the valley and influence the placement of early settlements like Paxton and Lenkerville. The river itself is broad and shallow, dotted with landforms such as Sweigarts Island and Crafts Island. Local heritage is evident in the numerous country churches and cemeteries that dot the hillsides, including Salem Ch, St Davids Ch, and the Rickard Memorial Cem. A notable piece of rural infrastructure, a Covered Bridge, spans the Wiconisco Creek near the southern base of Berry Mountain, while the western shore features the riverfront community of Liverpool and the landmark Montgomery Ferry.
