About this map

Pennsylvania Furnace and Huntingdon Furnace stand as markers of the region's deep industrial heritage, situated along the valley of Spruce Creek. This landscape is defined by the dramatic ridges of Tussey Mountain and Bald Eagle Mountain, which frame the agricultural and residential pockets of Franklinville and Seven Stars. The map reveals a high density of early burial sites, including the Seven Stars Cem, Graysville Cem, and Spittler Cem, offering significant value for genealogical research in this part of Huntingdon County.

Transportation through these valleys follows historical patterns, with the Warriors Mark Path and Spruce Creek Rd connecting small settlements like Marengo and Gatesburg. To the southeast, the terrain shifts into the heavily wooded Diamond Valley, where the Rothrock State Forest Seven Mountains Snowmobile Trails Trl provides modern recreational access to the ridge-and-valley topography near Diamond Lake.
