About this map

Standing Stone Creek meanders through the central valley of this Huntingdon County landscape, providing a geographical anchor for several small rural settlements. The map illustrates the mid-century character of places like Donation, Center Union, and Cornpropst Mills, where local life clustered between the prominent elevations of Warrior Ridge and Standing Stone Ridge. In the northern reaches, the Pennsylvania State University Forest and experimental forestry lands suggest a region dedicated to conservation and natural resource management.

Researchers will find significant genealogical data in the various burial grounds, including the Agudath Achim Memorial Park (Cemetery) and smaller plots like Ewing Cem and Steel Cem. The infrastructure of the early 1960s is evident in the inclusion of a Landing Strip and the Radio Tower (WREA) near the Oneida township line, while the presence of Mt Zion Ch points to the established community centers of the era.
