About this map

The heavy industrial footprint of Westmoreland County is etched into the landscape of Mount Pleasant and Unity townships. Dozens of locations marked Strip Mine and Strip Mines border established settlements like Calumet and Mammoth, where tailings and waste piles once defined the local geography. Social centers are prominent, including the St Florian Sch in United and the St Stanislaus Ch near Calumet.

Infrastructure for mid-century leisure and transit is well-defined, from the Drive-in Theater in the north to the Golf Course and Mammoth County Park surrounding Mammoth Lake. The southern portion of the map is dominated by the steep ascent of Chestnut Ridge, crossed by the Pennsylvania Turnpike and a secondary Toll Road. This 1967 survey captures a community at the intersection of traditional mining, newer suburban developments like Norvelt, and the preserved natural spaces of Donegal.
