Planning a hunt near Alexandria? Think of the Huntingdon County hunting land as two layers: where public access exists, and who owns everything else. This county guide covers: state sources for public ground, how to read private parcel lines, and getting landowner permission the right way, especially near Birmingham.
Building your Huntingdon County hunting land
Rules differ from one area to the next, so read them for ground near Nossville; access and methods can be restricted.
Opening the official parcel viewer
The public parcel map for this area is the Huntingdon County ArcGIS parcel map, and it opens in a browser with no account. Without an address in hand, pan along Interstate 76 and click the parcel itself. If the land is near Alexandria, write down the parcel ID before closing the panel; every records desk in the county will want it.
Legal descriptions in Pennsylvania
Rural deeds near Nossville commonly use metes-and-bounds descriptions, listing bearings, distances and landmarks. Subdivision lots in Calvin refer to a recorded plat, which is simpler to follow. Copy the legal description from the record for the parcel near Entriken before you request a deed or survey.
Parcel lines for hunters
For private ground, the Huntingdon County ArcGIS parcel map is the free source, and each tract near Alexandria lists an owner.
A quick look at the area
Huntingdon serves as the county seat, where most land records are kept. Other places on the map include Alexandria, Birmingham, Broad Top City, and Cassville, where town lots give way to larger tracts. Roughly 43,514 people live in Huntingdon County (Census estimate, 2023) spread over some 875 square miles. Huntingdon County was organized in 1787, so old deeds can run back a long way.
Being a good guest
Leave gates as you found them on land near Birmingham, and carry the owner's contact info; it keeps permission coming back.
Finding a landowner
For acreage around Entriken, offer details: who you are, when you'd hunt and how to reach you, and respect a no.
Before you go
Seasons, licenses and trespass laws are set by the state, and trespass rules differ by state before hunting near Birmingham.
Field tips
The parcel map usually runs in a mobile browser, which helps when you're standing on land near McConnellstown, so load it before you lose signal. A screenshot of the parcel near Cassville with its ID keeps working without signal.
What the map can't tell you
In and around Cassville, listed acreage is a tax-roll number; just a licensed surveyor establishes the real corners on the ground. For a parcel near Calvin, owner names and values update on a schedule, so a deed recorded last month might lag behind.
Recorded documents worth pulling
Before you sign anything, pull the recorded deed through the Recorder of Deeds; the parcel line is a drawing of it, for land near Coalmont included. Long-held tracts near Nossville may sit on a long string of deeds, and a title company can sort it out if money is changing hands.
Aerial scouting
On the aerial around Nossville, look for field edges, creek bottoms and timber lines; then confirm whose land each feature is on.
Neighboring parcel maps
Huntingdon County touches Bedford County, Blair County, Centre County, Franklin County, and Fulton County, and each of those keeps its own parcel map. Acreage along the edge near Allenport may show up in two county records, so look at the adjacent map before you assume the acreage. For acreage around Birmingham, our state page links each neighboring county map for Pennsylvania.
Who handles what
For assessment questions about property around Calvin go to the county assessment office, the office behind the parcel record. Building or septic questions for a lot near Allenport need the planning or permitting office, and the answer depends on jurisdiction.
