About this map

Standing Stone Creek meanders through this portion of Huntingdon County, anchoring a landscape defined by prominent ridgelines like Warrior Ridge and Stone Creek Ridge. The settlement patterns here reflect a deep-rooted local history, with small communities such as Donation, Center Union, and Manor Hill serving as focal points for rural life. Genealogists will find a wealth of specific data, as the map meticulously identifies numerous family burial sites including the Evans Family Cem, Stewart Family Cem, and the Gorsuch Cem.

The presence of historical congregations like the Manor Hill Presbyterian and Mount Zion Lutheran Church Cem further illustrates the social fabric of these valleys. In the southern reaches, the transition toward the borough of Huntingdon is marked by the Agudath Achim Memorial Park and the specialized Hilling International Airport, while the northern terrain remains dominated by narrow hollows like Stillhouse Hollow and the waters of Shaver Creek.
