"Juniata Valley," 1940
Description:
Extra Board. Here is a portion of a map copyrighted in 1940 by Mr. Floyd G. Hoenstine of Hollidaysburg, Pennsylvania, and published in his book entitled "Blair County's First Hundred Years: 1836-1936." It depicts clearly a portion of the Juniata River proper and its two main branches. The route of the Pennsylvania Canal was defined by the Juniata River proper and its West Branch, while the route of the Pennsylvania Railroad was defined by the Juniata River proper and its North Branch. The West Branch is often called the "Frankstown Branch": it reaches as far as Claysburg, grows bigger near Frankstown, snakes along the Juniata River Valley to Water Street, and merges eventually with the Juniata's North Branch near Alexandria. The North Branch is often called the "Little Juniata": it reaches as far as Juniata Gap, passes under the Pennsylvania Railroad's yards in East Altoona, then its down the valley to Tyrone, thence on to Spruce Creek, and merges eventually with the Juniata's West Branch near Alexandria. Mr. Hoenstine also notes the location of various Forts that were constructed in the region during Colonial times. (#1,734)

Juniata River's Headwaters, 1966
Description:
Extra Board. Here is an original photo that I took at the Altoona Campus of the Pennsylvania State University during May of 1966. Shown here is a portion of the stream that flows through the Campus. This stream ~ which flows down Juniata Gap ~ is actually the headwaters of the North Branch of the Juniata River. By-and-by, it passes under the Pennsylvania Railroad's yards in East Altoona, then it's down the valley to Tyrone, thence on to Spruce Creek, and merges eventually with the Juniata's West Branch near Alexandria. In due course, the Juniata proper slips into the Susquehanna River near Duncannon, the Susquehanna flows into Chesapeake Bay near Havre de Grace, and the Bay finally merges with the Atlantic Ocean near Norfolk.
