About this map

Nanty Glo and its surrounding coal-country landscape are defined by the industrial and transport networks of Cambria County. The Conrail lines and the remnant Old Railroad Stewart Grade trace the valley floors, connecting industrial hubs like Revloc and Cardiff with the larger Conemaugh River system. The map documents a complex infrastructure of strip mines and a large mine dump adjacent to the town center, contrasting with the preservation at the Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site along the southern edge.

Social and civic life is marked by numerous country churches and cemeteries, such as St Marys Cem and Singer Hill Ch, serving scattered settlements like Mundys Corner and New Germany. Modern developments of the era, including the Ebensburg Airport and a drive-in theater, appear alongside specialized institutions like the Ebensburg State School. Utility corridors, including multiple pipelines and the Saltlick Reservoir, underscore the region's role in supporting broader regional growth.
