1922 Map of New Florence

About this map

The Conemaugh River carves a deep path through the industrial and rural landscapes of Westmoreland and Indiana counties, serving as a primary corridor for the Pennsylvania R R. Along its banks, small railroad and mining settlements like Lockport Station, Robinson, and Bolivar illustrate the early 20th-century dependence on rail transport and resource extraction. The map captures an era when rural life was anchored by local institutions, evidenced by the high density of country schools such as Factory School, Trindle School, and Mahan School.
