2010 Map of Mount Union

About this map

Mount Union and Mapleton sit along a sharp bend of the Juniata River, where the water cuts through the ridge at Jacks Narrows. This corridor is dense with industrial and genealogical history, featuring the Lucy Furnace site and the Dark Hollow Dam. The landscape is a complex network of hollows like Numer Hollow and Maley Hollow, with numerous family and fraternal burial grounds including the Campbell Family Cemetery and the Mapleton Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cemetery. These small, localized cemeteries are scattered throughout the hills, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement patterns of Huntingdon County. The confluence of the Raystown Branch Juniata River and the main stem near Ardenheim creates a focal point for water-based activity, supported by the Pennsylvania Fish Commission Access Area. Further north, smaller hamlets like Mill Creek and Fousetown line the tributary streams, maintaining their distinct identities amidst the rugged terrain of Bark Ridge and Lick Ridge.
