1963 Map of Clymer

About this map

Indiana County’s coal-rich valleys and rural plateaus are deeply etched by the industry of the early 1960s, particularly around the settlements of Clymer and Dixonville. The landscape is dominated by the Penn Central and Baltimore and Ohio railroads, which served as the primary conduits for the region's extractive economy. Numerous strip mines and mine dumps are scattered along Dixon Run and Two Lick Creek, illustrating the extensive footprint of surface mining in Cherryhill and Green townships.
