1964 Map of Connellsville

About this map

The Youghiogheny River carves a deep valley through the heart of this industrial and residential corridor during the early 1960s and 1970s. The city of Connellsville serves as the southern anchor, showing a dense street grid punctuated by civic landmarks like the State Hospital and City Hall. To the north, Scottdale and Everson mark a separate hub of settlement along Jacobs Creek. The landscape between these urban centers is a complex network of transportation and extraction, defined by the meeting of the Baltimore and Ohio, Penn Central, and Western Maryland railroads.
