1970 Map of Blossburg
USGS Topo · Published 1986About this map
Tioga River carves a deep path through this section of the Allegheny Plateau, where the legacy of Pennsylvania’s coal industry is etched into the hillsides. The industrial footprint of Blossburg and the nearby coal patches of Morris Run and Arnot are prominently detailed, showing the extensive network of Strip Mines and Abandoned Strip Mines that define the local economy. In the northern reaches, the valley widens near Covington, while the surrounding highlands are preserved as part of the Tioga State Forest. Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites recorded, from the central St Marys Cem and St Andrews Cem to the isolated Frost Settlement Cem. A notable geographic shift is visible in the decommissioned rail infrastructure, with several routes labeled as Abandoned, including a former Grade following Coal Run.
