1964 Map of Latrobe

About this map

Industrial and religious landmarks define this landscape in Westmoreland County, dominated by the sprawling institutional grounds of St Vincent College and the Carmelite Monastery. The topographic detail reveals a region transitioning from heavy industry to mid-century development, where active and former extraction sites like the St Vincent Shaft and various Strip Mines sit alongside established communities such as Hannastown and Luxor. The Penn Central railroad corridors weave through the valleys, connecting the concentrated urban center of Latrobe with outlying settlements like Hostetter and Whitney. Notable educational and spiritual centers, including St Xavier Academy and St Joseph Hall High Sch, are prominently featured, while the northern edge of the map is anchored by the recreational waters of Keystone State Park. This record preserves the infrastructure of the early 1960s, from the Latrobe Airport to the intricate network of reservoirs like Jamison Reservoir.
