USGS Topo · Published 1990About this map
The industrial and civic heart of Altoona and its surrounding mountain gaps are revealed in this detailed study, where the urban grid of the East End and Juniata meets the steep climbs of the Allegheny Front. The transition from the dense residential neighborhoods of Fairview and Alta Manor to the high-elevation Pancake Flats illustrates the city's topographical constraints. Extensive extractive activity is visible along the Cambria Co and Blair Co line, where Strip Mines and a Tipple near Dougherty mark the local coal economy.
