1964 Map of Johnstown

About this map

The Conemaugh River and Stony Creek converge in the heart of Johnstown, a city defined by its industrial river corridors and steep valley topography. In this mid-century survey, the urban footprint stretches across numerous distinct neighborhoods like Moxham, Kernville, and Morrellville, while the heights above the city are occupied by residential Westmont and Southmont. Significant institutional landmarks are visible, including the Johnstown College (University of Pittsburgh) and the State Rehabilitation Center. Local history is deeply etched into the landscape through its numerous religious and burial sites, from the sprawling Grandview Cemetery to neighborhood anchors like SS Peter and Paul Cem & Ch. The influence of heavy industry and transportation is evident in the extensive Conemaugh Tracks and Baltimore and Ohio rail lines that navigate the narrow river bends alongside coal-era infrastructure like a Claypit and various strip mines.
