About this map

Industrial and rural landscapes intersect along the Ohio River in this mid-1980s planimetric study. The map documents a critical period for the Ohio Valley and Western Pennsylvania, showing the heavy rail infrastructure of the Conrail and Chessie System lines that serviced the region's coal and steel interests. The heavy industrial footprint of Nelms Mine No 1 and Mine No 60 contrasts with the surrounding topography, characterized by ridges like Simmons Ridge and localized landmarks such as Galloway Knob.
