2016 Map of Cresson
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
Cresson and Gallitzin sit atop the Allegheny Front, where the legacy of trans-Appalachian transportation is etched into the landscape. The Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site preserves the corridor where 19th-century canal boats were once winched over the mountain, a feat of engineering signaled here by the presence of The Muleshoe and numerous gaps like Blair Gap. This high-elevation terrain is defined by its industrial and social infrastructure, from the Lily Number One Reservoir to institutional landmarks like Mt Aloysius Coll.
