USGS Topo · Published 1954About this map
Altoona sits at the base of the Allegheny Front, serving as a critical rail hub where the Pennsylvania RR maneuvers through the steep transition from the ridge-and-valley province to the plateau. The map details the intensive settlement pattern of the 1920s, characterized by numerous small mountain communities like Lloydville, Blandburg, and Frugality. In the valley, the rail line connects industrial and residential centers including Juniata, East Altoona, and Bellwood.
