1963 Map of Entriken

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Raystown Branch Juniata River carves a tight, serpentine path through the center of this 1963 survey, defining the topographical character of central Pennsylvania before major hydroelectric developments permanently altered the valley floor. To the east, the steep rise of Terrace Mountain and Allegrippis Ridge contain the river within narrow, wooded corridors, while the Woodcock Valley to the west provides a more habitable landscape for rural settlement. Local community life at this time centers on crossroads such as Entriken and Marklesburg, with family history preserved in the Brumbaugh Cem and Shultz Cem. Industrial history remains visible through the Paradise Furnace and a Strip Mine in the south, while the Old Backbone Grade traces a former transportation corridor. Landmarks like Balanced Rock and the facilities at Trough Creek State Park suggest a landscape valued equally for its natural features and its iron-working past.
