1964 Map of New Salem

About this map

Industrial Fayette County is defined here by the intricate relationship between coal extraction and worker settlements. During the mid-1960s, the landscape was a dense network of mining towns like New Salem, Republic, and Keisterville, connected by the Monongahela Railroad and Penn Central lines. The heavy industry of the era is evident in the numerous strip mines and mine dumps that dot the hills, alongside evidence of earlier eras such as the abandoned coke ovens near Allison.
