Johnstown Sketches of the South Fork Threat to City
A LewisTex reporter profiles Johnstown and the South Fork basin, detailing a horseshoe shaped city wedged between mountains and Conemaugh and Stony creeks. It describes the South Fork reservoir, nearby towns Howellville Woodville and Cambela City, and the Cambria Iron Company plant.
