2019 Map of Millerstown

About this map

Millerstown and Thompsontown anchor this 2019 corridor where the Juniata River carves through the Appalachian ridges of Perry and Juniata Counties. The map reveals a landscape defined by sharp topographic contrasts, from the high elevations of Tuscarora Mtn and Wildcat Ridge to the fertile agricultural stretches of Little Pfoutz Valley and Black Dog Valley. This modern survey documents the persistent settlement patterns of central Pennsylvania, showing small communities like Maze, East Salem, and Goodville connected by a network of winding valley roads. Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites preserved across the terrain, including Riverview Cem overlooking the river and the Delaware Mennonite Cem. Industrial and transport history is visible at Thompson's Lock and Donnally Mills, marking the historical importance of water power and the Pennsylvania Canal system that once paralleled the river's course through these narrow gaps.
