1967 Map of Mammoth

About this map

Mammoth County Park sits at the center of this 1967 survey, surrounded by a landscape defined by the extraction and transport of the Westmoreland County coal region. The terrain is marked by numerous Strip Mines, a Quarry, and extensive Tailings piles near Calumet and Mammoth, evidence of the heavy industrial activity that shaped these communities. The Old Grade Railroad and various spur lines once connected these towns, while the Pennsylvania Turnpike cuts across the southern portion of the sheet near Alice. Local life is anchored by a high density of religious and educational landmarks, including St Lukes Ch, Forty Mourners Ch, and Hurst Jr High Sch. To the east, the elevation rises sharply toward Chestnut Ridge, where a Lookout Tower and St Boniface Chapel overlook Possum Hollow.
