About this map

Martinsburg serves as the central hub of this agricultural and aviation landscape in Blair County, where the valley floor is punctuated by numerous family and denominational burial grounds. The presence of the Altoona-Blair County Airport and the smaller Baker-Sell Airport highlights the importance of regional aviation, while the Martinsburg Junction rail point indicates the area's historical transportation connectivity.

Genealogists will find a dense concentration of cemeteries throughout the rural sections, including the Mennonite Cem and the Diehls Crossroads Brethren Cem, reflecting the deep-seated religious heritage of the local community. The terrain is defined by the steep rises of Loop Mtn and Lock Mtn to the north, and Tussey Mountain to the east, which hem in the productive valley farmland drained by Piney Cr and Clover Cr. To the south, settlements like Curryville and Henrietta anchor the rural road network near the Bedford County line.
