1941 Map of Ridgway
USGS Topo · Published 1965About this map
Industrial nodes and coal mining operations define the landscape of Elk County during this early 1940s survey. The Clarion River winds through the northern reaches, supporting the established centers of Johnsonburg and Ridgway, while the Pennsylvania RR and lines like the Pittsburg and Shawmut connect these valleys to the interior. Evidence of the region’s extractive economy is found in the numerous named collieries and hamlets south of the river, including Dagus Mines, Toby Mine, and Kyler Mine. Rural life is marked by landmarks such as the Gardner Hill Sch and Mountain Ch, while early water management is visible at the Sedimentation Reservoir and Laurel Run Res.
