About this map

Industrial activity and rural communities converge in this portion of the Pennsylvania coal country, where the landscape is heavily influenced by extensive Strip Mines and prominent Mine Dump sites. The terrain is deeply carved by waterways like Raccoon Creek and Montour Run, creating a jagged topography that dictated the placement of rail lines and early settlements. The Montour RR and Conrail corridors serve as the region's backbone, linking mining operations near Imperial and Bulger with broader markets.

Genealogists and local historians can locate established centers of worship such as Hebron Ch and Raccoon Ch, which anchor the rural population. Notable landmarks of the mid-20th century include Campbell Airport and the designated grounds of Hillman State Park. The map also captures the dual identity of places like Santiago (Tyre PO), reflecting the evolution of local postal and rail identities during the post-war era.
