2019 Map of Richfield

About this map

Richfield and Mount Pleasant Mills anchor this landscape along the border of Snyder and Juniata counties. The terrain is defined by a series of southwest-to-northeast ridges, including Shade Mountain, Chestnut Ridge, and Dresslers Ridge, which dictate the local settlement and road patterns. Agricultural valleys like Potato Valley and Buckwheat Valley are tucked between these elevations, connected by winding rural routes such as Heister Valley Rd and Buckwheat Valley Rd. The map reveals a dense network of local landmarks essential for genealogical research, including the Richfield Union Cem, Saint Peters Cem, and the Faith Lutheran Church Cem. The West Branch Mahantango Creek and its tributaries, like Leiningers Run, provide the primary drainage for this rural Pennsylvania countryside, where Jansen Vineyards Airport serves as a modern waypoint among the traditional farming valleys.
