About this map

Colver and its surrounding coal patches define this landscape in the early 21st century. The map documents the industrial character of the region through labels like Portal Number 1 and Portal Number 15, alongside the distinct housing patterns of Nine Row and Twenty Row near the settlement of Colver. These names suggest a history of company-built housing tied to local extractive industries, a common pattern in the bituminous coal fields of Pennsylvania.

Water management and local transportation are central to the area's development, evidenced by the Colver Reservoir, Williams Run Reservoir, and Duman Lake. More remote landmarks include the Pindleton Lookout Tower and Krumenacker Airport to the north. For genealogists, the map identifies specific burial sites such as Mount Hermon Cemetery and Powell Cemetery, as well as numerous family-named crossings including Preisser Crossing, Edwards Crossing, and Kinter Crossing, providing precise locations for ancestral research in Cambria County.
