About this map

Raystown Lake dominates the central topography of this Huntingdon County region, its winding waters carving through a series of prominent parallel heights. The rugged terrain is defined by Warrior Ridge, Piney Ridge, and the formidable Tussey Mountain, which separates Woodcock Valley from the surrounding lowlands. This landscape is marked by historic industry and early settlements, most notably the site of Paradise Furnace to the east and the village of Entriken tucked near the ridges.

Local history and genealogy are anchored by numerous burial sites scattered across the valleys, including the Entriken Cem, Brumbaugh Cem, and the Plummer Family Cem. Traces of old transport and recreation are evident in the Mid-State Trl and various mountain passes like Oxbow Pass. The map also captures the small communities of Russellville, Cherrytown, and Marklesburg, showing their spatial relationship to the managed forests and gamelands that characterize this part of central Pennsylvania.
