About this map

Raystown Lake and the winding Raystown Branch Juniata River dominate this landscape of parallel ridges and deep valleys. The map documents the area during a period of transition, showing the shoreline and recreational infrastructure of the lake alongside the older agricultural and industrial footprints of Woodcock Valley. In the north, Marklesburg and Beavertown anchor the settled corridor, while Entriken sits at a critical junction near Pine Ridge.

Local history is preserved in landmarks like the Lincoln Grange Hall and several country cemeteries, including Brumbaugh Cem and Shultz Cem. Industrial remnants such as Paradise Furnace and the legacy of the Railroad along the Backbone Ridge contrast with the protected lands of the Rothrock State Forest Trough Creek Wild Area. This survey provides an essential record of Huntingdon County's geography before later development altered these rural patterns.
