My family has been visiting the river (Riddlesburg/Saxton Area) for a long time. If there are any pictures/information I can provide, please ask. -- Cngodles 13:58, 17 April 2007 (UTC)
I'm looking for a little local knowledge here. The National Hydrography Dataset, the Geographic Names Information System, and the 7.5-minute topo map series all show the Juniata beginning at the junction the Little Juniata River and the Frankstown Branch, northwest of Huntingdon. The 100,000-scale topo map shows the Little Juniata continuing downstream through Huntingdon and joining the Raystown Branch at Ardenheim to form the Juniata there. Finally, the Board on Geographic Names' decision card (from 1939) also puts the start of the river at Ardenheim but indicates that that is the confluence of the Frankstown and Raystown branches.
To me, the BGN's decision card makes the most sense (the two named branches joining to create main stem), but the published USGS maps haven't followed that nomenclature. Does anybody familiar with the Huntingdon area have any light they can shed on this? (You can see the BGN's decision card on the GNIS website: U.S. Geological Survey Geographic Names Information System: Juniata River.) Thanks, -- Ken Gallager ( talk) 19:56, 22 August 2011 (UTC)
