1963 Map of Beaverdale

About this map

The Little Conemaugh River and its tributaries carve through the coal-rich landscape of Cambria County, where industrial operations and residential pockets are densely intertwined. In the early 1960s, the economic character of the region is defined by extensive surface mining, with numerous Strip Mine sites, Mine Dump areas, and a Tipple near Llanfair. The Penn Central railroad network threads through the valleys, connecting the company towns of Beaverdale, Lloydell, and Dunlo.
