1962 Map of Canton

About this map

Canton and Pittsburgh anchor this mid-century look at the industrial heartland where the Allegheny Plateau meets the sprawling river valleys of the upper Ohio basin. The map illustrates a landscape defined by its heavy infrastructure, following the Ohio River as it winds through Steubenville and Wheeling. Regional connectivity is on full display through the dense networks of the Pennsylvania RR and the Baltimore & Ohio RR, alongside the emerging path of the Lincoln Highway.
