1967 Map of Boswell
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Laurel Hill dominates the western skyline of this Somerset County landscape, where the steep ridges of Laurel Hill State Park and State Game Lands No 42 give way to the industrial and agricultural valleys below. The map captures the dense settlement pattern of Boswell and surrounding villages like Jenners and Ferrellton, which were deeply tied to the extraction economy evidenced by numerous Strip Mines and the Coal Junction Strip Mines. The rail infrastructure of the Baltimore and Ohio underscores this industrial heritage, winding through the terrain to serve these coal-producing communities.
