About this map

Vintondale stands as a central industrial hub along the Penn Central rail line, where the North Branch Blacklick Creek and South Branch Blacklick Creek converge. The landscape in the mid-1960s is defined by its extractive economy, featuring numerous Strip Mine operations and a significant Mine Dump near Rexis. This industrial footprint contrasts sharply with the nearby State Game Lands No 79 and the prominent heights of Laurel Ridge.

Smaller settlements like Wehrum, Dilltown, and Cramer are connected by a network of winding valley roads and utility corridors, including multiple Pipeline routes. Local life is anchored by institutions such as the Delano Sch and several country churches, including Memorial Ch and Bowersdale Ch. The reliance on local water sources is evident in the presence of the Findley Run Reservoir and Laurel Run Reservoir, which serve these hillside communities.
