USGS Topo · Published 1917About this map
The Allegheny River and Clarion River carve deep, winding channels through this segment of Western Pennsylvania, defining the industrial and social boundaries of the early twentieth century. This survey highlights the complex intersection of river transport and rail, with the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads following the narrow river benches to serve coal and iron interests. Evidence of the region’s extractive history is visible in the Blue Goose Mine and Eagle Mine, as well as the naming of the Canoe Furnace settlement.
