1959 Map of Port Matilda

About this map

Bald Eagle Mountain dominates this mid-century landscape, separating the industrial and transport corridor of the Bald Eagle Creek valley from the undulating terrain of Halfmoon Valley. The small borough of Port Matilda serves as a central hub where the Pennsylvania railroad and several highways converge. To the northeast, the historic industrial site at Martha Furnace stands near the creek, while the southeastern corner of the map transitions into the unique geological area known as The Barrens.
