1963 Map of Frankstown

About this map

The Frankstown Branch Pennsylvania Junita River snakes through a valley flanked by the steep ridges of Brush Mountain and Lock Mountain. This early 1960s landscape is defined by the intersection of mountain terrain and intensive extractive industry, with several claypits, a quarry, and a gravel pit located near the established settlements of Frankstown and Hollidaysburg. A prominent old railroad grade traces the path of Canoe Creek through Turkey Valley, illustrating the historic transportation corridors that once served this region's mines and mills.
