The quad spans parts of Jefferson, Indiana, and Clearfield counties, taking in Punxsutawney itself along with Big Run, Rossiter, and smaller communities like Glen Campbell and Arcadia. The landscape here was shaped by bituminous coal mining, with towns like Rossiter built around the mines. The sheet is in excellent condition, never folded, smooth and flat on thick stock – ready for framing.

FEATURES SHOWN ON THE MAP
The Punxsutawney 15-minute map shows cities and towns, roads, railroads, utilities and energy infrastructure, rivers, creeks, elevation contour lines, public land survey lines, county, state, and other administrative boundaries as they existed at the time of the survey in 1902 through 1904. All known structures (houses, businesses, churches, schools, barns, cabins, etc) are also shown, with exceptions in some urban areas, where only landmark buildings may be shown.

A VALUABLE HISTORICAL RECORD
Maps from the 15-minute series for the continental United States are no longer produced or printed by the USGS and original prints are becoming increasingly difficult to find. They are a valuable historical record for an area, as they contain many placenames and features that have been dropped from more recent maps.
