2013 Map of Williamsburg

About this map

Williamsburg serves as the central hub of this Blair County landscape, where the Frankstown Br Juniata River and Clover Cr converge. The topography is defined by the prominent Short Mountain and Redstone Ridge, framing a series of smaller communities such as Ganister, Shellytown, and Marklesburg. Notable for its unique geological and recreational landmarks, the area includes the Arch Spring Natural Bridge and the Ganister Blue Hole, as well as the Cove Valley Airport and Hesston Speedway. Local history is embedded in named terrain features like Indian Chief Rock and Stacy Knob, while the southern portion of the sheet reaches the shores of Raystown Lake at the Hitch Boat Launch. This 2013 survey provides a contemporary view of these established settlements and their relationship to the surrounding ridge-and-valley terrain.
