About this map

Marianna and Cokeburg anchor this industrial landscape in Washington County, Pennsylvania, where the coal economy of the mid-20th century is clearly etched. Numerous Mine Dump symbols and elaborate Conveyors systems near Ellsworth illustrate a region built on extraction and transport. The Conrail rail lines and an Old Railroad Grade trace the movement of coal along valleys carved by Tenmile Creek and Pigeon Creek.

Social and civic life is marked by local landmarks like the West Bethlehem High Sch and a high concentration of religious sites, including St Marys Ch and Mt Calvary Ch. The historic National Road cuts through the center of the sheet, connecting older settlements like Scenery Hill and Beallsville, providing a contrast between the hilltop transit routes and the heavy industry concentrated in the deep creek bottoms near East Marianna.
