1967 Map of Ligonier

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Loyalhanna Creek flows through the borough of Ligonier, where the town's early infrastructure is marked by a sewage disposal plant and an Athletic Field. To the east, the landscape transitions into the steep slopes of the Laurel Highlands, dominated by the massive acreage of Forbes State Forest and Linn Run State Park. This era of the late 1960s and early 1970s shows a mix of recreation and traditional industry, with the Laurel Valley Golf Club and Rolling Rock Racecourse situated near industrial remnants like California Furnace and scattered coal and strip mines. Transportation routes like the Old Forbes Road follow historical corridors through the mountains, connecting smaller settlements like Laughlintown and Rector. The map details many small family and community burial grounds, including Valley Cem, Laughlintown Cem, and Penrod Cem, providing a deep record of local lineage.
