About this map

Ebensburg serves as the focal point of this Cambria County landscape, where the Conrail lines intersect with the historic regional roadway network including U.S. 219 and U.S. 22. The map details a period of industrial transition and suburban growth, evidenced by the expansion of neighborhoods like Lovell Park and Mylo Park alongside the older mining and rail infrastructure. To the south, the Little Conemaugh River winds through narrow valleys, passing through the labor-intensive industrial corridor of Portage, Sonman, and Cassandra.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, from the County Fairground and Bishop Carroll High Sch in the north to numerous religious sites like St Bartholomew Ch and several family-associated cemeteries. The landscape is also marked by its coal heritage, with labels for Air Shaft, Mine Dump, and Plane Bank scattered across the ridges and valley floors. Recreational and social landmarks such as the Spring Hill Drive-in Theater and the local Golf Course illustrate the community life of the early 1960s.
