1922 Map of Du Bois

About this map

Industrial activity and rural settlement define this landscape in the early twentieth century, where the Jefferson Co Clearfield Co line runs through a network of active rail corridors and mining hubs. The city of Du Bois and the borough of Reynoldsville serve as primary anchors, linked by the Pennsylvania and Buffalo Rochester and Pittsburgh lines. The map reveals a dense distribution of rural education centers, including the Groves School and McAninch School, serving scattered communities like Sugar Hill and Emerickville. The resource-driven economy of the era is evident at the Eleanora Mines and Coal Glen, while the B Brand Reservoir and numerous runs, such as Sandy Lick Creek, show the vital water infrastructure supporting both the towns and the surrounding industry.
