1933 Map of Tyrone

About this map

The Little Juniata River and the Pennsylvania Railroad anchor this industrial and agricultural corridor through the heart of Central Pennsylvania. The city of Tyrone serves as a major rail hub at the base of Bald Eagle Mountain, while the surrounding landscape reveals the legacy of the early iron industry through sites like Huntingdon Furnace, Union Furnace, and Pennsylvania Furnace. The map traces the winding course of Spruce Creek through fertile valleys populated by numerous country schools, including the Rural Choice Sch and Cool Run Sch. Distinctive geological features like The Barrens and the subterranean drainage of Sinking Valley near Arch Spring contrast with the organized settlement patterns in Alexandria and Petersburg. From the mechanical operations at Grazier Mill to the small rural communities of Warriorsmark and Marengo, the survey captures a region defined by its narrow mountain gaps and water-powered history.
