About this map

The Raystown River snakes through the deep valleys of central Pennsylvania in this early 1960s survey, showing the landscape just before significant changes reached the shoreline. The map documents the valley's character as Raystown Lake began to influence the local geography, particularly near Allegrippis Ridge and Terrace Mountain. The area maintains a strong agricultural and communal identity, evidenced by landmarks like the Lincoln Grange Hall and several country churches including Salems Ch and Russellville Ch.

Genealogists will find value in the precise locations of family-named burial grounds such as Brumbaugh Cem and Shultz Cem. Industrial history is represented by the Paradise Furnace and a Strip Mine located near Broad Top. The transition of the land for public use is clear, with large sections designated as Rothrock State Forest and State Game Lands No 73, alongside recreation sites like Camp Reynolds and Balanced Rock.
