About this map

Huntingdon serves as the focal point of this 2019 survey, situated where the Juniata River meets Crooked Creek. The town's historic footprint is defined by institutions such as Juniata College and the Huntingdon County Courthouse, while its periphery is marked by numerous burial grounds including Holy Cross Catholic Cem and Riverview Cem.

South of the borough, the landscape shifts into a dramatic series of ridges and valleys. The waters of Raystown Lake dominate the southern half of the map, weaving between Allegrippis Ridge and Terrace Mtn. This topography dictated the development of rural settlements like McConnellstown and Hesston, which are connected by a network of valley roads. Genealogists will find significant value in the preservation of small family plots, such as the Schucker Family Cem and Anderson Family Cem, located far from the primary population centers.
