1962 Map of Cambridge

About this map

Cambridge serves as the industrial and civic anchor of this 1962 landscape, situated where the Baltimore and Ohio and Penn Central railroads intersect near the meandering Wills Creek. The map documents a dense concentration of community infrastructure in the mid-century, including the sprawling Cambridge State Hospital complex and several neighborhood institutions like Lincoln Sch and Oakland Sch. Beyond the city limits, the landscape shifts into the coal-producing hills of Center and Jefferson townships.
