About this map

Huntingdon serves as the focal point of this survey, where the Juniata River carves through the central Pennsylvania landscape. The borough's character is defined by its institutional and civic presence, anchored by Juniata College and the Huntingdon County Courthouse. To the west, the terrain rises into the distinctive ridges of Warrior Ridge and Williamsburg Mountain, while the southern portion of the sheet is dominated by the sprawling waters of Raystown Lake, including Moonbeam Island and Martys Island.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites throughout the valley, from larger borough plots like Riverview Cem to more secluded family grounds such as the Schucker Family Cem and Anderson Family Cem. The map illustrates a landscape of ridges and valleys, with small settlements like McConnellstown and Hesston positioned along the historical corridors of Woodcock Valley and Hartlog Valley.
