1960 Map of Kensington

About this map

Kensington sits at the nexus of the Pennsylvania railroad and the Old Pennsylvania Railroad Grade, serving as a central point in this rural landscape during the early 1960s. The region is marked by an active extraction economy, evidenced by several Strip Mines and a network of pipelines that traverse the townships of Hanover, Augusta, and Franklin. The map captures a transition in transportation, showing both active rail lines and abandoned grades that once defined local commerce.
