1964 Map of Saltsburg

About this map

Saltsburg serves as a focal point at the confluence where the Conemaugh River and Loyalhanna Creek form the Kiskiminetas River. This landscape is defined by the heavy footprint of mid-century industry and transportation, with the Penn Central railroad tracing the riverbanks and numerous Strip Mines and quarries dotting the surrounding hills. The map illustrates a complex water management system featuring Loyalhanna Lake and its controlled flow through the winding valley.
