1964 Map of New Salem

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

Industrial heritage and coal-era settlements define this landscape in Fayette County during the mid-1960s. The region is densely populated with towns like New Salem, Republic, and Merrittstown, many of which were built around the extractive industries of the day. Evidence of this past is found in the Coke Ovens (Abandoned) near Allison and numerous labeled Mine Dumps scattered throughout the Menallen and Redstone townships. The Monongahela RR and Penn Central rail lines weave through the valleys, following watercourses like Redstone Creek and Dunlap Creek to serve the local mines.
