Geologyedit
A major group of east-west trending faults and the erosional force of the Raystown Branch of the Juniata River are responsible for the existence of this water gap. Four formations are exposed on the north side of the gap (along a roadcut for the Turnpike): The Tuscarora, the Juniata, the Bald Eagle, and the Reedsville Formation.[1] The Tuscarora is exposed on the south side of the gap along Rt. 30.
A panorama of a portion of the Narrows roadcut for the Pennsylvania Turnpike. Stratigraphic up is to the left, and thus the beds are overturned. The beds are highly folded and faulted at right. February 2001.
