Stony Creek carves a deep valley through the center of this Somerset County landscape, dictating the placement of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and several small industrial settlements. In the early 1970s, the region was defined by a mix of traditional agriculture and intensive coal operations, evidenced by numerous strip mines and a tipple dotting the hills near Kimmelton and Mostoller. The map documents the community infrastructure of the era, from the Forbes High Sch near Kantner to the Shanksville-Stonycreek Sch in the borough of Shanksville.
