1963 Map of Alexandria
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
The Juniata River and its Frankstown Branch carve a complex path through the ridges of Huntingdon County, where the iron-era legacy of the Pennsylvania Railroad dictates the valley's settlement patterns. The map captures the mid-century character of historic boroughs like Alexandria and Petersburg, which are linked by both water and rail. The terrain is dominated by the massive Tussey Mountain and the expansive Rothrock State Forest, where numerous old paths such as the Indian Trail and Rainbow Trail wind through the highlands. Local life is documented through landmarks like the Juniata Valley High School, Bethel Ch, and the subterranean attraction of Lincoln Caverns. Significant industrial and institutional footprints are visible, including a Strip Mine near Warrior Ridge and the State Correctional Institution at the edge of Huntingdon.
