1966 Map of Du Bois

USGS Topo · Published 1982

About this map

The industrial and community development of Jefferson and Clearfield Counties centers on the hub of Du Bois and the sprawling Strip Mines that dominate the landscape. This 1966 survey, later updated in 1981, reveals a region defined by its extraction economy and the transportation networks supporting it, including the Baltimore and Ohio and Conrail rail lines. Settlements like Sykesville, Rathmel, and Helvetia are shown with high detail, including their religious and civic foundations such as St Michaels Church and St Catherines Cemetery. The topography is a maze of valleys carved by S and Y Lick Creek, Stump Creek, and East Branch Mahoning Creek. Numerous Gas Wells dot the hillsides, illustrating the continued resource extraction that shaped local geography well into the late twentieth century.
