USGS Topo · Published 1972About this map
The city of Altoona and its surrounding mountain gaps are captured here during a period of mid-century industrial transition. While the Pennsylvania railroad lines anchor the urban core, the landscape to the west is dominated by the steep ridges of State Game Lands No 108 and State Game Lands No 184. This area reveals the heavy footprint of the coal industry, with numerous Strip Mines and a Gravel Pit cutting into the terrain near Richland and Buckhorn.
