1960 Map of Brazil East

About this map

Coal extraction and heavy rail transport define this 1960 revision of the landscape east of Brazil. The terrain is significantly altered by extensive Strip Mine and Strip Mine operations that flank the established towns and transportation corridors. These industrial zones press right up against settlements like Carbon, Knightsville, and Harmony, illustrating the intense reliance on the local mineral resources. The transportation network is anchored by the Pennsylvania Railroad and New York Central railroads, which facilitated the movement of goods from local Kilns and a large Granary. Genealogists will find a wealth of local burial sites, including Calcutta Cem, Redman Cem, and Pell Cem, often situated near rural congregations like Mt Lebanon Ch and Ebenezer Ch. The presence of the Treaty Line provides a historical boundary reference amidst the evolving suburban and industrial growth near the Courthouse and the eastern edge of Brazil.
