1964 Map of Bolivar

About this map

The Conemaugh River carves a deep valley between Penn View Mountain and Chestnut Ridge, defining the border between Westmoreland and Indiana Counties. This mid-century survey captures a landscape shaped by coal extraction and heavy transport, evidenced by numerous Reclaimed Strip Mines and the persistent footprint of the Old Pennsylvania Canal near Strangford. The river's winding path serves as a corridor for the Conrail line, connecting riverside communities like Torrance, where the expansive grounds of the Torrance State Hospital are clearly delineated.
