1957 Map of Millheim

About this map

Millheim and the surrounding Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians appear here in a mid-century topography that highlights the region's dense network of narrow valleys and high ridges. The map captures the agricultural patterns in Sugar Valley and Brush Valley, where settlements like Rebersburg and Aaronsburg are connected by roads following the valley floors. In contrast, the high ground of Nittany Mountain and Thick Mountain remains largely undeveloped, defined by geological features such as The Winehead and numerous gaps like Rockville Gap and Schroyer Gap.
