1967 Map of Mammoth

About this map

Kecksburg and the surrounding coal-and-coke landscape of Westmoreland County are depicted in this 1967 survey. The map reveals a transition from industrial exploitation to recreation, marked by the transformation of former mining lands into Mammoth County Park and the appearance of a Drive-in Theater and Golf Course near United. The geography is defined by the steep rise of Chestnut Ridge to the east, where numerous Gas Wells and a Lookout Tower St Boniface sit high above the valley floor. Settlement patterns follow the winding path of Sewickley Creek and the Abandoned Railroad Grade, connecting old company towns like Mammoth, Calumet, and Norvelt. Religious and social life are anchored by institutions such as St Lukes Ch, St Pauls Ch, and the St Florian Sch, while the modern corridor of the Pennsylvania Turnpike cuts through the southern terrain near Laurelville.
