1959 Map of Elliott Park

About this map

Moshannon State Forest dominates this section of the Allegheny Plateau, revealing a landscape defined by industrial resource extraction and public recreation in the mid-20th century. Extensive strip mines dot the southern terrain near Greenville and Chestnut Ridge, contrasting with the protected timberlands to the north. Water management is a primary theme of the landscape, with the Curwensville Reservoir and Clearfield Reservoir appearing alongside smaller bodies like Laurel Lake and the Du Bois Reservoir.
