2016 Map of Reward

About this map

Turkey Valley and the parallel ridges of the Susquehanna watershed define this landscape along the border of Juniata and Perry Counties. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valleys, with the community of Seven Stars to the north and Reward at the center, linked by a network of rural roads such as Old Ferry Rd and Pfoutz Valley Rd. The terrain is characterized by steep, wooded ridges including Buffalo Mtn and Berry Mtn, which flank the agricultural corridor of Hunters Valley. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Mitchell Cem near Mitchell Gap, a notable landmark south of the Newport Reservoir. The presence of several small settlements like Nekoda and Centerville reflects the traditional ridge-and-valley farming economy that has persisted in this region for generations.
