1945 Map of Philipsburg
USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
Philipsburg and its neighboring coal and clay settlements define the western reaches of this 1945 study, where the Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads facilitated a bustling industrial economy. The landscape is a transition from the mining operations and strip mines near Morrisdale and Hawk Run to the high tablelands of the Moshannnon State Forest. Evidence of early aviation and recreational development appears through Ames Airport, Black Moshannon Airport, and the presence of a CCC Camp and Boy Scout Camp in the forest interior.
