About this map

Millheim and Aaronsburg anchor the southern valleys of this Penns Valley landscape during the late 1960s, showing a traditional agricultural and small-town pattern that follows the limestone floor between ridges. The linear orientation of Aaronsburg is particularly striking, reflecting its historic 18th-century plan along the main valley road. Further north, Rebersburg serves as the hub of Sugar Valley, separated from the south by the formidable heights of Nittany Mountain and Brush Mountain.

The map details the complex drainage and gap systems of the region, including the Millheim Narrows where Elk Creek carves a passage through the ridges. Notable local landmarks include the Lamar National Fish Hatchery in the northwest and Woodward Cave near the eastern edge. Local genealogy is well-supported by several burial sites such as Fairview Cem and St Pauls Cem, alongside numerous country congregations like Emmanuel Ch and Salem Ch.
