About this map

Clymer and the surrounding townships of Rayne and Green define this mid-century portrait of Pennsylvania’s bituminous coal country. The landscape is heavily marked by the region's industrial heritage, featuring numerous strip mines and gas wells alongside the Cherry Tree and Dixonville and Baltimore and Ohio railroads. These rail lines follow the winding paths of Dixon Run and Two Lick Creek, connecting local operations with wider markets.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the rural settlements and institutions of the 1960s. Small communities like Dixonville, Idamar, and Kintersburg are meticulously documented alongside numerous country churches and cemeteries, including Grove Chapel, Bethel Ch, and Cherryhill Cem. Notable landmarks such as the Jimmy Stewart Field and the Kintersburg Bridge over Crooked Creek provide specific points of interest for those tracing the development of Indiana County.
