About this map

Windber and its surrounding coal-rich terrain anchor this detailed topographic survey, which captures the industrial landscape of Somerset and Cambria counties during a period of significant extraction. The northern region is dominated by mining operations like Number 38 and Number 36, while the massive Quemahoning Reservoir sits prominently in the west, fed by Quemahoning Creek. The network of the Pennsylvania RR and Baltimore and Ohio RR facilitates the movement of resources through settlements such as Hooversville and Friedens.
