2010 Map of Martinsburg

About this map

Martinsburg serves as the central hub for this portion of Blair County, situated in a valley framed by Lock Mountain to the north. The landscape is defined by a dense network of local roads such as Rebecca Furnace Rd and Hickory Bottom Rd, which connect small agricultural settlements and rural industry points. For genealogists, the map is remarkably dense with family-named burial grounds, including the Dilling Cemetery, Kensinger Cemetery, and Shriver Cemetery, offering a detailed spatial record of the area's early residents and religious communities like the Mennonite Cemetery. The proximity of Martinsburg Junction to the main town and the expansive Altoona-Blair County Airport highlights the area's evolution from a purely agrarian society to a regional transportation center, while watercourses like Clover Creek and Piney Creek continue to dictate the placement of farms and historic mills.
