Industrial Coatesville and its surrounding hill country are captured here during the mid-1950s, showing a landscape shaped by the West Branch Brandywine Creek and a dense network of transportation. The heavy industry of the city, dominated by rail lines like the Reading and Pennsylvania railroads, contrasts with the agrarian character of townships such as East Fallowfield and West Marlborough. Notable institutions serve the region, including the sprawling U S Veterans Hospital and Scott High Sch.
