About this map

Colver and its neighboring coal-patch settlements are central to this 21st-century landscape in Cambria County. The map details the grid-like residential layouts of Nine Row and Twenty Row within Colver, as well as the nearby communities of Nicktown, Twin Rocks, and Bakerton. This region, situated near the headwaters of the W Br Susquehanna River, demonstrates a classic Pennsylvania industrial pattern where worker housing and local infrastructure are concentrated along the ridges and valley slopes.

Surface water is a defining characteristic, with several man-made impoundments such as Colver Reservoir, Spangler Reservoir, and Williams Run Reservoir dotting the terrain. For local historians, the map identifies small, significant landmarks like Mount Hermon Cem and Powell Cem, alongside modern developments like Krumenacker Airport. The surrounding wooded hills are marked by the Pindleton Lookout Tower and a complex network of local roads that connect these small townships across the Indiana Co and Cambria Co line.
