2010 Map of Mingoville

About this map

Little Nittany Valley and the broader Nittany Valley anchor this 2010 topographic study of Centre County, Pennsylvania. The landscape is defined by the northeast-to-southwest orientation of the Appalachian ridges, creating natural corridors like Greens Valley and Rag Valley. Settlements such as Mingoville, Zion, and Jacksonville sit along established transit routes that parallel these limestone valleys. To the north, the waters of Bold Eagle Creek are managed by the Howard Dam, creating a significant water feature near Mount Eagle. Civil infrastructure is highlighted by Bierly Airport and the complex road network including Curtain Village Rd and Jacksonville Rd, which connect the small farming and residential clusters. The map also captures numerous geological gaps and hollows, such as Curtin Gap and Howard Gap, which have historically dictated the movement of people and resources through this part of the Commonwealth.
