Allegheny Mountain forms the massive diagonal spine of this Somerset County landscape, dictating the difficult passage of early infrastructure. The B and O railroad follows the winding descent of Wills Creek through the gap at Sand Patch, while the early alignment of the Pennsylvania Turnpike cuts across the northern reaches near New Baltimore. This 1923 survey captures a rural industrial economy defined by extraction and small-scale milling, evidenced by the Salco Mines and Shipley Bros Mine located near Macdonaldton.
