1958 Map of Sandy Ridge
USGS Topo · Published 1960About this map
Moshannon State Forest dominates this Central Pennsylvania landscape, where the ridges of the Allegheny Front meet industrial activity in the late 1950s. The village of Sandy Ridge serves as a focal point along the Pennsylvania railroad line, while the nearby settlement of Glass City sits just south of the Moshannon Creek headwaters. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Sandy Ridge and Rush Ridge, cut by numerous watercourses including Cold Stream and Black Bear Run. Industrial presence is evident through several Strip Mines operating in the northwest, contrasting with the conservation lands of State Game Lands No 33 and State Game Lands No 60. For genealogists, the map preserves the location of the Mt Pleasant Ch and Mt Pleasant Cem in the southeast corner near Fowler Hollow.
