1959 Map of Penfield

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Penfield and the neighboring settlements of Winterburn and Hollywood define this section of the Allegheny Plateau during a period of industrial and conservation activity. The landscape is heavily marked by the extraction economy, with a Strip Mine and Gravel Pit visible alongside the Penn Central rail line that follows the course of Bennett Branch. Much of the territory is dedicated to public land management, including the Moshannon State Forest, State Game Lands No 93, and Parker Dam State Park. For genealogists, the presence of Mt Pleasant Cem and Laurel Run Cem provides vital points of interest for family research. The map also highlights local infrastructure like the Pumping Station and the State Tree Nursery, reflecting the state's efforts in reforestation and water management across the numerous runs and hollows feeding into Anderson Creek and Moshannon Creek.
