Falls Creek and the surrounding borderlands of Jefferson and Clearfield Counties are defined by a complex industrial landscape of extraction and reclamation. The borough of Falls Creek serves as a central hub, while the sprawling Du Bois urban area occupies the southeastern corner. This mid-century survey reveals the extensive footprint of the regional coal industry, with numerous sites designated as Reclaimed Strip Mine or active Strip Mine. These industrial areas are woven between established rural communities such as Lanes Mills, Beechton, and the aptly named Coal Glen.
