2019 Map of Nanty Glo

About this map

Nanty-Glo and the surrounding coal-country settlements of Twin Rocks, Cardiff, and Revloc occupy a landscape defined by the deep valleys of the South Branch Blacklick Creek and its many tributaries. This 2019 survey captures a complex cultural layer of the Allegheny Front, where small towns are densely packed with religious and community landmarks. The sheer number of denominational cemeteries, such as the First Finnish Lutheran Cem and Holy Ascension Ukrainian Orthodox Church Cem, reflects the diverse European immigrant groups that settled here to work the mines and railroads. Along the southern edge of the sheet, the Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site preserves the corridor of the mid-19th-century engineering feat that linked the state's canal systems, crossing the drainage divide near Mineral Point and West Point. Modern infrastructure like the Ebensburg Airport and major highway junctions at Mundys Corner now overlay these older transit patterns.
