2016 Map of Mount Union

About this map

The Juniata River carves a deep path through the Ridge and Valley province, most notably at the dramatic gap of Jacks Narrows between Jacks Mountain and Sideling Hill. This corridor has long served as a vital transportation artery for Huntingdon County, anchoring industrial and residential hubs like Mapleton, Mount Union, and Mill Creek. The map reveals a dense concentration of local history markers, including the Lucy Furnace site and an extensive array of family and institutional burial grounds such as the Old White Church Cem and the Mapleton Independent Order of Odd Fellows Cem. Away from the river, the landscape is defined by steep ridges like Standing Stone Ridge and the Smith Valley, where smaller water bodies like Hares Valley Cr and Sugar Grove Run drain the complex topography.
