1903 Map of Hollidaysburg
USGS Topo · Published 1938About this map
The Frankstown Branch Juniata River carves through the distinctive ridge-and-valley landscape of Blair County, anchoring a series of industrial and railroad settlements at the start of the 20th century. Hollidaysburg and Gaysport serve as central hubs where the Pennsylvania R. R. network converges, facilitating the transport of materials from local mines and the Ore Hill area. The topographic detail highlights the dramatic bends of Loop Mountain and Lock Mountain, which forced early engineers to follow narrow gaps and creek beds like Blair Gap Run.
