1904 Map of Johnstown

About this map

Johnstown and its satellite industrial boroughs are captured here at the start of the twentieth century, anchored by the confluence of Stony Creek and the Little Conemaugh River. The map shows a landscape dominated by the steel and coal economy, where neighborhoods like Morrellville, Franklin, and Woodvale are densely packed alongside the Pennsylvania RR corridors. On the hills above the river valley, the sprawling Grandview Cemetery overlooks the city, providing a significant touchstone for genealogical research in the region.
