It lies 6.3 miles south of Altoona, PA (from Altoona, PA: bearing 187°T), and is situated 1.1 miles west of Hollidaysburg.

To the east, the earth dips into the quiet shadows of Maple Hollow, while the surface of the Hollidaysburg Reservoir catches the pale, flat light of mid-afternoon, mirroring the gray clouds that frequently drift over the valley. At Legion Memorial Park, the grass holds the cool dampness of the morning long after the sun has climbed, offering a patch of stillness where the wind carries the faint, metallic scent of damp soil and ancient stone.
