About this map

Sabula serves as the primary hub in this late-1950s landscape, situated where the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania railroad lines converge. The town is flanked by significant water features, including Lake Sabula and Lake Rene, which punctuate a terrain defined by the Moshannon State Forest and various state game lands. Industrial activity is evident through numerous strip mines and gas wells scattered across the ridges, particularly in the Horton and Huston townships.

Genealogists and local historians can locate the Bundy Cem and Greenwood Cemetery, along with landmarks like the Boy Scout Camp and the Lookout Tower near Mountain Lick. The mapping of technical infrastructure, such as the Tunnel and pumping station, illustrates the mid-century intersection of transportation and utility networks in the rural corridor between Elk, Jefferson, and Clearfield counties.
