2016 Map of Williamsburg

About this map

The Frankstown Branch Juniata River carves a path through this section of the Ridge-and-Valley Appalachians, defining the local geography between Lock Mtn and the prominent Tussey Mountain. The settlement of Williamsburg serves as a central hub, surrounded by smaller communities such as Ganister, Robeson Extension, and Shelltown. This landscape is particularly rich for genealogical research, containing over a dozen burial sites including the Old Stone Church Cem, Bowers Family Cem, and Snively Cem. A unique geological landmark, the Arch Spring Natural Bridge, stands as a notable feature along Clover Cr. The map also reveals the area's infrastructure and recreational spots, from the Cove Valley Airport and Williamsburg Reservoir to the northern reaches of Raystown Lake near Marklesburg.
