1966 Map of Du Bois

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

The industrial and agricultural landscape of Jefferson and Clearfield Counties is defined here by the winding Sandy Lick Creek and the heavy presence of extractive industry. Numerous strip mines dot the hillsides between Sykesville and Sandy, illustrating the intensive coal mining that shaped the local economy through the mid-20th century. The transportation network is anchored by the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, which follows the creek valleys and serves established mining and residential centers. Small communities such as Helvetia, Rathmel, and Soldier provide a record of local genealogy, clustered around their respective churches and burial grounds like Soldier Hill Cem and Shaffer Memorial Cem. In the larger hub of Du Bois, more dense urban development is visible, featuring a central City Park, a Hospital, and several schools including the Jr High Sch. This map also preserves the paths of several pipelines and an Old Railroad Grade, showing the evolution of regional infrastructure.
