  • Huntingdon County Natural Heritage Inventory

    Huntingdon County Natural Heritage Inventory

    HUNTINGDON COUNTY NATURAL HERITAGE INVENTORY Prepared for: The Huntingdon County Planning Commission 205 Penn Street, Suite 3 Huntingdon, PA 16652 Prepared by: Western Pennsylvania Conservancy 209 Fourth Avenue Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222 This project was funded through grants supplied by the Department of Community and Economic Development, the Department of Conservation and Natural Resources – Office of Wild Resource Conservation. PREFACE The Huntingdon County Natural Heritage Inventory identifies and maps Huntingdon County’s most significant natural places. The study investigated plant and animal species and natural communities that are unique or uncommon in the county; it also explored areas important for general wildlife habitat and scientific study. The inventory does not confer protection to any of the areas listed in the report. It is, however, a tool for informed and responsible decision-making. Public and private organizations may use the inventory to guide land acquisition and conservation decisions. Local municipalities and the County may use it to help with comprehensive planning, zoning, and the review of development proposals. Developers, utility companies, and government agencies alike may benefit from access to this environmental information prior to the creation of detailed development plans. Although the inventory was conducted using a tested and proven methodology, it is best viewed as a preliminary report rather than the final word on the subject of Huntingdon County’s natural heritage. Further investigations could potentially uncover previously unidentified Natural Heritage Areas. Likewise, in-depth investigations of sites listed in this report could reveal features of further or greater significance than have been documented. Some of the areas described here are privately owned.

    SAMUEL VAUGHAN'S JOURNAL or "Minutes Made by S.V., from Stage to Stage, on a Tour to Fort Pitt" Edited by Edward G. Williams PART II FROM CARLISLE TO PITTSBURGH Introduction Carlisle the early road ran southward through the Cumber- land Valley via Shippensburg to the Conococheague Settlements FromA (Chambersburg), thence crossed the Potomac at the mouth of Conococheague Creek (Williamsport, Maryland) to the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia (present U.S. Route 11). Although only a rough wagon road, it was commonly called the "Great Road to Virginia." This wagon road already had been extended to McDowell's Mill,or Fort McDowell (present Markes, Pennsylvania) upon the West Fork of Conococheague, when, in 1755, Colonel James Burd was sent to cut a road from that point over the mountains to meet General Braddock's road near the Great Crossing of the Youghiogheny. 1 Over the Great Road, in 1758, marched Forbes' army from Carlisle to Fort Loudoun, which had recently supplanted Fort Mc- Dowell,2 three miles below the present village of Fort Loudon, Frank- lin County. Thence, the road bent around the promontory of Par- nell's Knob (North Mountain), passing in a northerly direction up Path Valley and over Tuscarora Mountain by Cowan Gap. It then slid down the narrow, declining trough between Tuscarora and Cove Mountain to the Little Aughwick Creek at Burnt Cabins. 3 It was here that the Pennsylvania Road of later years again In the Manuscript Division of the Library of Congress is the only known copy of the Journal of Samuel Vaughan.
