2016 Map of Orbisonia

About this map

Aughwick Creek winds through this section of Huntingdon County, carving a path between the steep slopes of Jacks Mountain and Blacklog Mountain. The landscape is defined by its deep ridge-and-valley structure, where settlements like Three Springs and Saltillo occupy the narrow corridors of flat land. The map reveals a high concentration of small, family-owned burial grounds such as the Booth Family Cem and Kyler Family Cem, alongside established community landmarks like the Saint Mary's Covered Bridge. These features, tucked into the gaps of Shopes Ridge and Johnson Ridge, indicate a long-standing rural community structure where geography dictated the placement of roads like the Croghan Pike and Hudson St. In the southern reaches, the village of Maddensville sits at the confluence of Sideling Hill Creek and Little Aughwick Creek, serving as a focal point for local transport and commerce.
