About this map

Terrace Mountain and the dense canopy of the Rothrock State Forest dominate this 1963 survey of Huntingdon County. The landscape is defined by the steep ridges of The Barrens and Sideling Hill, where the winding course of Great Trough Creek carves through the terrain. Civil life is concentrated in small valley settlements like Cassville, Todd, and Calvin, connected by rural routes such as Trough Creek Drive.

Evidence of local industry and community history is scattered throughout the hills, including several strip mines, a Shale Pit, and the Old Grade Railroad tracing the Luciana Creek drainage. Genealogists will find family and community markers like Sheridan Cem, Wright Cem, and Cornelius Cem, alongside local landmarks like the Trough Creek Valley Sch and Todd Tabernacle. The northern boundary is marked by the wide bend of the Juniata River and the Raystown Branch, where a small landing strip serves the riverfront area.
