1924 Map of Mt. Union

USGS Topo · Published 1924

About this map

The Juniata River winds through a landscape defined by sharp ridges and deep valleys, anchored by the industrial and transport hub at Mount Union. This 1920s topography highlights a region dependent on the Pennsylvania Railroad, which follows the river's path past Mapleton Depot and Newton Hamilton. The map reveals a dense network of early 20th-century rural infrastructure, including a remarkable concentration of one-room schoolhouses such as Lucy Furnace School, Corbin School, and Ross Grove School that served the isolated valley communities between Jacks Mountain and Blue Mountain. Local industry and commerce are reflected in places like Atkinson Mills and the Pump Station along Aughwick Creek. In the south, the village of Shirleysburg and the Richvale Shade Valley PO mark long-established settlements situated along early state highways and mountain gaps.
