1963 Map of Beaverdale

About this map

Coal mining and industrial infrastructure define this landscape in the southern Allegheny Mountains during the early 1960s. The map illustrates a dense concentration of Tipples, Mine Dumps, and extensive Strip Mines that surround the interconnected communities of Beaverdale, Lloydell, and Dunlo. These settlements are closely tied to the Conrail rail lines that follow the winding paths of the Little Conemaugh River and its tributaries.
