1968 Map of Saltillo

About this map

Robertsdale and Saltillo anchor this 1968 study of the Ridge and Valley landscape, where industrial extraction and isolated rural communities intersect. The map documents a territory defined by the anthracite coal industry, specifically the presence of numerous Strip Mines and an old railroad grade cutting through the western terrain. The settlement pattern follows the narrow valleys between Jacks Mountain and Sideling Hill, revealing a network of country institutions like the Spring Farm Sch and Cornelius Chapel.
