1963 Map of Williamsburg

About this map

Williamsburg and the surrounding Ridge-and-Valley province appear in high detail during the early 1960s, a period when the Pennsylvania railroad still shaped the local industrial landscape. The Frankstown Branch Juniata River carves a path between Canoe Mtn and Lock Mtn, while the towering presence of Tussey Mountain dominates the eastern half of the sheet. The map reveals a dense network of family-named cemeteries and rural churches, including Snively Cem, David Beck Cem, and St Johns Ch, which serve as vital markers for genealogical research.
