1959 Map of Philipsburg

About this map

Philipsburg serves as the primary hub of this industrial and coal-producing landscape on the border of Centre Co and Clearfield Co. The town is surrounded by a network of smaller mining and rail settlements such as Morrisdale, Winburne, and Munson, all connected by the Penn Central railroad lines that follow the winding course of Moshannon Creek. The presence of numerous Strip Mines across the northern reaches of the quadrangle, particularly near Graham and Kylertown, illustrates the intensive extraction activities of the mid-20th century.
