1968 Map of Punxsutawney

About this map

Mahoning Creek winds through the heart of this Jefferson County landscape, anchoring a series of coal-era settlements including Punxsutawney, Walston, and Rossiter. The map documents a territory defined by resource extraction and early transport, where numerous Strip Mine operations and the Adrian Mines are interspersed with residential clusters and local institutions. Significant genealogical markers like Circle Hill Cem and SS Peter and Paul Cem are clearly noted, along with the landmark heights of Gobblers Knob. The transport network of the late 1960s is preserved here, featuring the B & O Railroad alongside an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to earlier industrial movements. From the Punxsutawney Municipal Airport to the quieter reaches of Cloe Lake, the sheet captures a multifaceted portrait of central Pennsylvania's industrial and community life.
