About this map

Northern Cambria serves as the central hub of this northern Cambria County landscape, where the West Branch Susquehanna River winds southward through a corridor of established coal-patch towns and boroughs. The map illustrates the dense residential grids of Barnesboro, Spangler, and North Barnesboro, reflecting the region's industrial heritage. Beyond the primary settlements, the topography is dotted with smaller communities and historic crossroads such as Marsteller, Emeigh, and Stifflertown.

Genealogists will find a wealth of records in the numerous burial grounds, including Saint Marys Cemetery and Saint Patricks Cemetery near the southern edge, and Grass Hill Cemetery overlooking the river valley. The landscape transitions from these urban clusters to more isolated rural features like Garmans Mills and Pioneer Lake Dam, while names like McKeages Crossing and Cush Cushion Crossing suggest old transit points over the river and its many tributaries, such as Cush Cushion Creek and Moss Creek.
