About this map

Orviston and Kato anchor this central Pennsylvania landscape, where industrial activity and conservation efforts met during the late mid-century. The Penn Central railroad winds through the steep terrain, utilizing the Hogback Tunnel to traverse the ridges above Beech Creek. While much of the territory is protected as part of the Sproul State Forest, the presence of numerous Strip Mine sites and a Pipeline indicates a region heavily defined by natural resource extraction.
