1903 Map of Latrobe

About this map

Latrobe sits at the heart of this early twentieth-century landscape, a bustling industrial junction where the Ligonier Valley R R meets the Main Line. The map reveals a region defined by the winding paths of Loyalhanna Creek and the Conemaugh River, which form the boundaries between the townships of Derry, Unity, and Burrell. The presence of numerous Coke Ovens near settlements like Crabtree and Luxor points to the intense coal and iron activity of the era, further supported by the involvement of the H.C. Frick Coke Co. noted in the margin.
