About this map

Tuscarora Mountain and Cove Mountain dominate this landscape in South Central Pennsylvania, carving out a series of narrow valleys where local industry and transportation networks took root by the late 20th century. The village of Richmond Furnace and the community of Fort Loudon highlight the region's historical industrial ties, while the Old Railroad Grade and Old RR Grade trace the legacy of mountain-spanning transport.

Large tracts of the Buchanan State Forest and Cowans Gap State Park provide a clear view of land conservation efforts around Cowans Gap Lake. Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community landmarks, including the Magsam Cem, Mountain View Sch, and the New Life Ch. The map also captures the borough of Mc Connellsburg as it appeared in the 1990s, complete with its Fairground and growing residential layout.
