1961 Map of Coalport

About this map

Glendale Lake dominates the central topography of this survey, surrounded by the sprawling acreage of Prince Gallitzin State Park. The landscape is a study in Pennsylvania's mid-century transition from industrial extraction to managed conservation and recreation. Extensive Strip Mines are mapped on the hillsides around Flinton and Fiske, while the northern reaches transition into State Game Lands No 120. The community of Coalport serves as a primary hub in the north, connected to smaller settlements like Lyleville and Blain via the Conrail lines. Local genealogy and settlement history are reflected in family-named junctions such as Longs Crossroad and Naglee Crossroad, while numerous small drainages like Snake Creek and Clearfield Creek define the valley floors between the ridges.
