About this map

Industrial activity and institutional development define this portion of Cambria County, where the coal-rich banks of the South Branch Blacklick Creek meet the growing municipal centers of Nanty Glo and Revloc. The landscape is etched with the remnants of resource extraction, from numerous Mine Dump sites and Strip Mines to the Stewart Railroad Grade that once navigated these valleys. The eastern portion of the map is dominated by the sprawling campus of the Ebensburg State School and the Ebensburg Airport, showing the mid-century transition from a purely extractive economy to one of public service and infrastructure.

Genealogists will find a wealth of local landmarks, including several family and parish-centric sites such as St Marys Cem, Wesley Chapel, and Singer Hill Ch. The presence of the Saltlick Reservoir and its surrounding watershed, including Little Saltlick Run, illustrates the vital water management systems required for both the borough populations and the persistent industrial operations along the Conrail lines.
