About this map

Moshannon Creek anchors this central Pennsylvania landscape, winding between coal-country settlements and industrial sites. The borough of Philipsburg serves as a primary hub, surrounded by a constellation of smaller communities including Chester Hill, South Philipsburg, and North Philipsburg. Evidence of the region's mining heritage is prominent through labels like Rusnak Mine and Cuba Mines, while local genealogy is well-supported by numerous burial grounds such as Kylertown Cemetery, Hunter Cemetery, and the Immanuel Cemetery near Winburne.

Water management and infrastructure are central to the terrain, marked by the Morrisdale Dam at Emigh Lake and the Recreation Dam on Cold Stream. The map details a transition from the dense street grids of the riverside towns to the rural reaches of Barlow Hollow and Black Bear Hill. Transportation footprints from the Allport Cutoff to the rural junction at Loch Lomond Junction illustrate how the local road and rail networks historically connected these remote mining and residential pockets.
