1961 Map of Limestone

About this map

Limestone sits at the base of this 1961 topographical study, where the industrial footprint of the Southern Tier is clearly visible. The landscape is dominated by the sprawling acreage of Allegany State Park and the Allegany Indian Reservation, highlighting a complex relationship between public conservation and indigenous land. A dense network of resource extraction is evident through numerous oil wells and gas wells scattered throughout the hills, particularly near the Pennsylvania border.
