1969 Map of Ralston

About this map

Lycoming Creek carves a deep valley through this Pennsylvania landscape, serving as the primary corridor for both the Penn Central railroad and the settlement of Ralston. The topography is dominated by the steep slopes of Sullivan Mountain and Pickenville Mtn, much of which is protected within the Tiadaghton State Forest. This 1969 survey captures a transition in land use, where traditional mountain settlements like Roaring Branch and Ogdensburg persist alongside evidence of industrial extraction, such as the Strip Mine operations located near Abbott Run.
