1959 Map of Sabula

About this map

Sandy Lick Creek and its many tributaries, including Muddy Creek and Lick Run, carve through this heavily forested section of the Allegheny Plateau during the early 1970s. The village of Sabula serves as a focal point near the shore of Lake Sabula, where the Penn Central Railroad and several highways converge. This landscape is a complex mix of conservation and industry, featuring the extensive Moshannon State Forest alongside numerous strip mines that mark the hillsides. Genealogists will find several burial sites noted across the townships, from the Bundy Cem in the north to Morningside Cemetery near Du Bois in the south. The presence of infrastructure like the Brockway Reservoir and various gas wells indicates the region's role in local utility and resource extraction, while Lake Rene and a Boy Scout Camp highlight the area's recreational use.
