About this map

The Juniata River flows through the borough of Huntingdon in this 2010 survey, serving as a geographic anchor for the region's historical developments. The map reveals a complex water management landscape, including the Huntingdon Smithfield Dam and the larger Raystown Dam to the south. This newer impoundment created the expansive Salmon Hole and submerged portions of the valley, while the Old Raystown Dam remains as a visible underwater or shoreline trace of earlier infrastructure.

Genealogists will find a wealth of family-named sites across the rural hills, from the Speck Family Cemetery near the reservoir to the Schucker Family Cemetery tucked away in the western ridges. Small settlements like McConnellstown and Hesston are connected by a network of local routes such as Piney Ridge Rd and Turkey Farm Rd. The transition from the settled river valley to the recreation-heavy lands around the Seven Points Recreation Area illustrates the dual identity of this central Pennsylvania corridor.
