About this map

Etna Furnace and Mount Etna anchor the southern portion of this landscape, marking a legacy of iron production where Roaring Run meets the Frankstown Branch Juniata River. The map reveals a valley defined by prominent ridges like Brush Mtn and Canoe Mtn, which frame the agricultural and residential pockets of Canoe Valley and Sinking Valley. In the north, the junction of Spruce Creek and the Little Juniata River supports the settlements of Union Furnace and Spruce Creek.

Genealogists will find a wealth of specific landmarks, from the Yellow Springs Lutheran Cem in Yellow Spring to the Shaffersville Cem near Water Street. The terrain is interconnected by a network of local routes such as Arch Spring Rd and Polecat Hollow Rd, alongside the long-distance Lower Trl following the river corridor. This survey documents the persistent settlement patterns and landmark cemeteries of this rural Pennsylvania corridor.
