About this map

Pine Grove Mills serves as a primary settlement hub where the ridge-and-valley terrain of central Pennsylvania defines the local geography. The landscape is dominated by the massive profile of Tussey Mountain and Leading Ridge, creating distinct corridors like Harrys Valley and Stone Valley. Historically significant sites are scattered throughout these lowlands, including the industrial remains at Monroe Furnace and several small rural hamlets such as Charteroak and Masseyburg.

Genealogists will find a high concentration of burial sites, from the Old Pine Grove Mills Cem to the family-named Rudy Cem and Mooresville Cem near Neffs Mills. Water features like Shaver Cr and Lake Perez anchor the southern valleys, while gaps in the mountains, such as Pine Grove Mills Gap and Schalls Gap, indicate the historic passage routes through this complex topography near the Centre and Huntingdon county line.
