1977 Map of Murdock

About this map

Somerset anchors the northern edge of this orthophoto map, which reveals the complex patchwork of the late 1970s Pennsylvania landscape. The high-altitude aerial imagery, rectified by automatic correlation, provides a unique view of the agricultural and industrial patterns surrounding the Casselman River. Smaller settlements like Beachdale, Burkholder, and Murdock are visible as clusters amidst the rugged topography. The imagery clearly distinguishes between the dense forested tracts and the geometric shapes of cleared farmland and mining activity. In the west, Wilson Creek and the meandering path of Coxes define the drainage of this Somerset County terrain. This document, produced in cooperation with the Soil Conservation Service, serves as a precise record of land use and rural development before the expansion of more modern infrastructure.
