2013 Map of Vintondale

About this map

Vintondale and the surrounding coal and iron country of Cambria County are defined by a complex network of waterways and ridges. The Blacklick Cr and its various branches, including the N Br Blacklick Cr and S Br Blacklick Cr, carve through the landscape near settlements like Rexis and Wehrum. Historical industry is grounded in the presence of Conemaugh Furnace near the Conemaugh Gorge, a reminder of the region's early manufacturing roots. Significant water management is evident through several bodies of water, including the Findley Run Reservoir, Big Spring Reservoir, and Hinckston Run Reservoir. The terrain rises sharply at Rager Mountain and along the Laurel Ridge, while smaller communities such as Wheatfield, Cramer, and Chickaree are connected by a web of local routes like Barkley Church Rd and Dishong Mountain Rd.
