1960 Map of Dillonvale

About this map

Short Creek winds through a landscape of sharp ridges and deep hollows, serving as the industrial and social spine for a series of coal-country settlements including Dillonvale and Adena. The terrain is characterized by prominent elevations like Smithfield Ridge and Scotch Ridge, where the impact of the regional extractive economy is visible through numerous Strip Mine operations and a Mine Dump near Bradley. These industrial features sit in close proximity to long-established community centers, evidenced by the high density of religious and burial sites such as St Adelbert Cem, Hicksite Cem, and the Short Creek Cem.
