    3. Hello Jocelyn, Vi Limric posted your inquiry about the Tuscarora Valley on the Juniata Co. ListServ. The Tuscarora Valley is in south-central Pennsylvania and lies mainly in Juniata Co. It is defined by the Tuscarora Creek, which has its rise in Huntingdon Co. and runs to the northeast through much of Juniata Co. Shade Mountain lies to the northwest of the Valley and Tuscarora Mountain lies to the southeast. The northeast end of the Valley is where the Tuscarora Creek empties into the Juniata River at Port Royal, forty-some miles northwest of Harrisburg. If you wish to find it on a map and have access to the Internet, go to the following WebSite: http://mapping.usgs.gov/www/gnis/gnisform.html type in Tuscarora for "Feature name," choose "Pennsylvania" from the drop-down menu, choose "stream" from the "Feature type" drop-down menu, and then send query. When the information page comes up, to bring up the map click on the highlighted line "Show feature location." Give the program time to load the second map on this page and scroll down to it. It will show a line of red dots for the location of Tuscarora Valley. In 1801 most of the Valley's population was in the lower end, between Spruce Hill and Port Royal as shown on present-day road maps. Wishing you good luck, Nelson R. Sulouff
