USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Rural Valley and the neighboring industrial settlements of Yatesboro and NuMine anchor this survey of Armstrong County’s coal and gas country. The landscape is defined by the narrow valleys of Cowanshannock Creek and its tributaries, where the Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor tracks the waterway to serve local extractive industries. Numerous gas wells and Strip Mine operations are scattered across the uplands, illustrating the intensive resource development that shaped these communities during the late 1960s.
