1969 Map of Dents Run

USGS Topo · Published 1994

About this map

The Bennett Branch Sinnemahoning Creek valley serves as the primary artery for settlement and industry in this 1960s landscape. Small communities like Dents Run and Summerson follow the watercourse, while the surrounding uplands are defined by the transition from heavy resource extraction to conservation. Evidence of the coal industry is visible in the numerous Strip Mines and Reclaimed Strip Mines on Winslow Hill, while the proliferation of a Gas Well network throughout Elk State Forest and Moshannon State Forest indicates the shift toward natural gas production. Genealogists will find the Johnson Cem and another Cem near the creek, alongside family-named landmarks like McPherson Hollow and Grant Hill. For outdoor historians, the primitive path of the Quehanna Trail winds through the southern half of the quadrangle.
