2016 Map of Hollidaysburg

About this map

Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site anchors the western ridge of this landscape, marking the path of the mid-19th century engineering marvel that linked the eastern and western divisions of the Pennsylvania Main Line of Public Works. The terrain transitions from the steep grades of Kittanning Point and Kittanning Gap into the industrial and residential heart of Altoona and Hollidaysburg. Genealogists will find a dense concentration of burial sites, from the Holliday Burial Ground and Jackson Burial Ground near Gaysport to the Saint Patricks Old Cem in Newry. The map captures the complex water management system supporting the region, including the Ebensburg Reservoir and the Beaverdam Branch of the Frankstown Branch Juniata River, alongside the suburban expansion seen in Llyswen, Lakemont, and Sylvan Hills.
