1968 Map of Saxton
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
The Raystown Branch Juniata River carves a sharp, winding course through the northwestern corner of this quadrangle, defining the terrain near Saxton and East Saxton. This 1968 study reveals a landscape heavily shaped by industrial activity, with dozens of Strip Mine operations scattered across the ridges of Carbon and Broad Top townships. The map is a vital record for genealogists, detailing small mining settlements like Coalmont, Barnettstown, and Dudley that once supported the local coal economy. In the valleys, numerous family-named and community landmarks appear, including Grandview Cem and St Michaels Cem. Higher elevations are dominated by State Game Lands No 67 and the rugged profile of Terrace Mountain, while an Abandoned railroad grade near Wood signals the shifting transportation and industrial patterns of the late 1960s.
