2010 Map of Williamsburg

About this map

The Frankstown Branch Juniata River carves through the heart of this landscape, defining the layout of historic industrial and residential nodes from Ganister down to Williamsburg. This 2010 survey details the complex geography of Blair County, where the river's path is marked by features like the Williamsburg Station Dam and the distinctively named Ganister Blue Hole. Family history and local heritage are deeply rooted in the numerous burial grounds scattered across the terrain, including Saint Josephs Cemetery, Biddle Cemetery, and the Old Stone Church Cemetery near Marklesburg. To the east, the terrain rises toward Redstone Ridge and the Loop Lookout Tower, while the southern reaches feature the Hitch Boat Launch and the Salmon Hole along the winding waterways. Small settlements and crossroads such as Covedale, Larke, and Shellytown provide a look at the persistent rural pattern of the region.
