1963 Map of Cassville

About this map

The Raystown Branch Juniata River and the emerging Raystown Lake dominate the northwestern landscape of this central Pennsylvania region. In the early 1970s, this area was undergoing significant hydrological changes, with revisions marking the anticipated flooding of the river valley. The map documents rural life along the ridgelines of Terrace Mountain and Sideling Hill, where small communities like Cassville and Todd remained centered around local institutions like the Todd Tabernacle and Trough Creek Valley Sch. Resource extraction and land management are evident through scattered quarries and strip mines near Rocky Ridge, alongside the protected woodlands of Rothrock State Forest. Genealogists may find interest in the proximity of small rural burial grounds such as Sheridan Cem and the Wright Cem located near Calvin.
