USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The industrial and natural landscape of Somerset and Cambria counties unfolds around Windber, showing a region defined by its coal-mining history and timber resources. Active and former extraction sites are marked by numerous mine dumps and strip mines that sit adjacent to residential areas like Scalp Level and Rummel. The Penn Central railroad tracks follow the winding course of Paint Creek, illustrating the vital link between the mineral-rich hills and the transport networks of the 1970s.
