1957 Map of Millheim

About this map

Millheim and Aaronsburg serve as the primary valley settlements in this 1957 revision, situated within a landscape defined by the parallel ridges of Nittany Mountain and Brush Mountain. The terrain is marked by numerous gaps, such as Schroyer Gap and Kreamer Gap, which historically dictated the flow of travel through the Sugar Valley. The Lewisburg and Tyrone RR follows the winding path of Penns Creek, connecting isolated locations like Ingleby and Weikert. This corridor illustrates the region's reliance on river-level routes for heavy transport through the Seven Mountains. To the east, the Joyce Kilmer Monument and the Snyder-Middleswarth State Forest Park signify the preservation of the Central Pennsylvania timberlands, while local landmarks like Woodward Cave and the Airway Beacon provide specific points of interest for local history researchers.
