1966 Map of Du Bois

About this map

Industrial extraction and transit define the landscape of the Jefferson and Clearfield county border during the mid-1960s. Extensive Strip Mines are carved into the hills surrounding Rathmel and Soldier, indicating the dominant role of surface mining in the local economy. The urban center of Du Bois sits at the northern edge of the sheet, served by the Baltimore and Ohio RR and the Penn Central rail lines. This rail infrastructure converges at C & M Junction, facilitating the movement of coal and timber through the Sandy Lick Creek valley.
