The Monongahela River winds through this 1964 survey, defining the boundaries between Greene, Fayette, and Washington counties. This industrial river corridor is marked by the heavy infrastructure of the Monongahela Railway and Conrail, supporting numerous company towns and coal-related settlements like Crucible, Isabella, and Republic. The map reveals a landscape transitioning from the intense resource extraction of a strip mine or the Tower Hill No 2 site toward community development in places like Cumberland Village and Penncraft. Rural life remains anchored by local institutions such as West Bend Ch and the Carmichaels Area High Sch. This mid-century view captures the dense network of mining hamlets like Heistersburg, Allison, and Adah before later 20th-century shifts altered the regional footprint of the Monongahela Valley.
