1977 Map of Schellsburg
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Shawnee State Park occupies a central role in this landscape, dominated by the waters of Shawnee Lake and the winding Raystown Branch Juniata River. The map captures the intersection of early Pennsylvania transit and rural community life, marked by two Covered Bridge locations along the river and the Pennsylvania Toll Road carving through the southern terrain. Small settlements like New Paris, Schellsburg, and New Buena Vista serve as anchors for the surrounding townships of Napier, Juniata, and Harrison. Local educational and spiritual centers, such as the New Paris Central Sch and Pleasant View Ch, illustrate the dispersed nature of the mid-century population. Along the eastern edge, the steep rise of Chestnut Ridge creates a natural barrier, while the northern reaches include the protected wilderness of State Game Lands No 228.
