1963 Map of Frankstown

About this map

Frankstown Branch Juniata River flows through a landscape defined by the heavy industry and transit corridors of central Blair County. In the early 1960s, the Penn Central railroad followed the river's winding course, serving industrial sites like the numerous quarries, gravel pits, and claypits scattered across the township. The map documents a cluster of small settlements and named crossings such as Geeseytown, Linda Crossing, and Upper Reese, reflecting a community tied to the land and the rail lines.
