USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Little Conemaugh River and its south fork dominate this landscape of the 1960s, winding through industrial valleys marked by extensive coal mining operations. The rugged topography between Geistown and South Fork is peppered with strip mines and mine dumps, reflecting the region's heavy reliance on the extractive industry. Near the river's bend, the historic Staple Bend Tunnel remains a landmark of early transportation engineering.
