1971 Map of Central City

About this map

Industrial extraction and recreational development define this 1971 landscape on the Allegheny Front. Central City and Cairnbrook serve as the primary hubs of activity, where the infrastructure of the coal industry is evident in numerous mines, a Tipple, and several Mine Dumps. The Penn Central railroad winds through these communities, illustrating the critical link between the local resource economy and broader transport networks. South of the mining district, the development of Indian Lake and Lake Stonycreek indicates a shift toward leisure and residential use, complete with a Golf Course and the Indian Lake Airport.
