About this map

Extensive industrial activity and shifting infrastructure define this portion of the Pennsylvania coal country at the intersection of Allegheny, Washington, and Beaver counties. Numerous Strip Mines and tailings dumps dominate the topography between Imperial and Santiago (Tyre PO), illustrating the heavy extraction that shaped the mid-century local economy. This landscape is a complex network of resource transport, where the Montour RR and South Fork Montour Run navigate the valleys between prominent landmarks like Bald Knob.

Regional travel and commerce center on the Lincoln Highway and the William Penn Highway, connecting rural settlements such as Murdocksville, Clinton, and Candor. For genealogists, the map preserves the exact locations of local landmarks including Hebron Ch, Raccoon Ch, and various unnamed cemeteries. From the banks of Raccoon Creek to the rail town of Bulger, the survey provides a detailed look at the interface between established townships like Hanover, Findlay, and Robinson.
