1971 Map of Windber
USGS Topo · Published 1982About this map
Windber and its neighboring boroughs of Scalp Level and Paint sit at the center of an intensive mining and industrial landscape along the border of Cambria and Somerset counties. The presence of numerous strip mines, tipples, and extensive mine dumps across the terrain reflects the region's deep ties to the coal industry. In the valley of Paint Creek, the infrastructure of the Conrail line and the Floodwall protect the settled areas, while landmarks like the Old Shade Furnace point to an even older industrial heritage of iron production in the shaded valleys.
