1977 Map of Millersburg

About this map

The Susquehanna River dominates this orthophotomap, carving a wide path through the central Pennsylvania ridges in the late 1970s. The riverside settlement of Millersburg sits at the base of the agricultural uplands, with the smaller community of Lenkerville situated just to the south. Across the water, Liverpool lines the western bank. The landscape is defined by the rigid, forested spines of Mahantango Mountain to the north and Berry Mountain to the south, which squeeze the river into a tight corridor. Between these landmarks, a complex patchwork of strip-farming and woodlots reveals the area's agricultural character. This 1977 aerial perspective, produced in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, provides a clear view of the land-use patterns and township boundaries as they existed before modern suburban expansion significantly altered the rural layout.
