1902 Map of Kittanning

About this map

Kittanning and the high banks of the Allegheny River anchor this 1900 survey of Armstrong and Butler Counties. The landscape is defined by the sharp meanders of the river, most notably the deep oxbow at Bradys Bend, and the industrial pulse of the Redbank Furnace near the mouth of Redbank Creek. The topography reveals a region deeply tied to early manufacturing and transit, with numerous mill sites such as Fosters Mills and Buffalo Mills positioned along the creek valleys.
