About this map

The Little Juniata River carves through the southeast corner of this central Pennsylvania landscape, anchoring a corridor of rail and road infrastructure that connects Tyrone with smaller settlements like Grazierville, Charlottsville, and Gray. This 2010 survey illustrates the managed water resources vital to the region, including the Tipton Reservoir and its associated Tipton Dam, as well as Tyrone Reservoir Number One and Tyrone Reservoir Number Two tucked into the eastern hills.

The terrain rises sharply toward the west and north, moving away from the river valley into the high elevations of Lost Mountain and the deep recesses of Mulligan Hollow and Fry Hollow. Traces of local life and recreation are evident in the placement of Peterson Memorial Field near Tipton and the network of forest access routes like Fire Tower Rd and Cherry Hollow Rd that penetrate the dense woodlands of the Allegheny Front.
