1963 Map of Donation

About this map

Standing Stone Creek and its tributary Shaver Creek carve through the parallel ridges of Huntingdon County in the early 1960s, defining a landscape of agricultural valleys and timbered heights. Small crossroads settlements like Cottage, Manor Hill, and Saulsburg serve the surrounding rural population, while industrial history is noted at Cornpropst Mills. The area shows a heavy emphasis on conservation and education, with large tracts dedicated to the Pennsylvania State University Experimental Forest and State Game Lands No 112. Local genealogy is well-supported by several distinct burial sites, including the Steel Cem and the Agundath Achim Memorial Park. Topographical landmarks like Round Top and the long spine of Standing Stone Ridge separate the various drainage basins, such as Gregory Run and Lick Run, which supported the early mills and farms of the region.
