1998 Map of Windber
USGS Topo · Published 1999About this map
Windber and the surrounding borderlands of Cambria and Somerset counties are defined here by a landscape undergoing significant reclamation. Large areas of light brown tint across Paint and Shade townships indicate extensive reclaimed strip mines, signaling the shift from active extraction to land restoration in the late 20th century. The settlement pattern remains concentrated in the north around Scalp Level and Paint, where local institutions like the Windber Hospital, Library, and numerous churches, including SS Peter and Paul Ch and Holy Child Ch, serve the community.
