1959 Map of Sabula

USGS Topo · Published 1960

About this map

Sabula serves as the focal point of this late-1950s study of the Pennsylvanian highlands, where the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroads converge near the Sabula Tunnel. The landscape is a complex intersection of industrial extraction and forest conservation, featuring multiple strip mines operating alongside the expansive Moshannon State Forest and State Game Lands No 93. The map reveals a sophisticated water management system for the era, including the Brockway Reservoir, Lake Sabula, and Lake Rene, alongside an abandoned reservoir. This network of runs and creeks, such as Sandy Lick Creek and Bennett Branch, underscores the importance of local hydrology to both the rail routes and the scattered settlements. Genealogists can locate several burial sites, including Bundy Cem, Greenwood Cemetery, and Morningside Cemetery, which are tucked between the rugged hollows and township lines of Horton, Snyder, and Huston.
