1967 Map of Confluence

About this map

The Casselman River and Laurel Hill Creek converge at the borough of Confluence, a critical transport hub defined by the intersecting paths of the Baltimore and Ohio and Western Maryland railroads. This 1967 survey captures the deep-cut valleys and high ridges of Lower Turkeyfoot and Upper Turkeyfoot, where small settlements like Ursina and Harnedsville are tied to the river's path. To the south, the massive expanse of the Youghiogheny River Lake marks a significant change in the local geography, created by the damming of the river just downstream.
