About this map

The borough of Orbisonia and the neighboring town of Rockhill anchor the northeastern corner of this Huntingdon County landscape, situated along Blacklog Cr and Croghan Pike. The terrain is defined by the parallel folds of Shopes Ridge, Johnson Ridge, and Saddle Back Ridge, which direct the flow of numerous waterways like Aughwick Cr and Three Springs Cr. This rural corridor is dotted with small settlements and corners that reflect generations of local residency, including Pogue, Wible Corner, and Chilcote Corner.

Infrastructure in this part of Central Pennsylvania remains tied to its geography, featuring structures such as Saint Mary's Covered Bridge and Frehn Bridge. The map details a network of secondary roads and local routes, including Maddensville Pike and Elliots Run Rd, connecting outlying areas like Three Springs and Maddensville. Notable local landmarks like Beers Farm Airport and Memmi Airport suggest the continued utility of the open valley floors between the gaps.
