1960 Map of Brazil West

About this map

Brazil and its western rural surroundings define this 1960s landscape, where the transition from agricultural fields to heavy industry is marked by numerous Strip Mine operations. The territory is crisscrossed by the Penn Central railroad, which served as a vital artery for the region's coal and clay resources. Deeply etched drainage patterns from Otter Creek and its branches, including Little Otter Creek and North Branch, cut through the terrain, influencing the placement of early settlements like Diamond, Perth, and Coal Bluff.
