1961 Map of Slippery Rock

About this map

Slippery Rock State College serves as the focal point of this region, which was mapped at a time when the local economy transitioned between its industrial past and educational future. The landscape is defined by the winding paths of Wolf Creek and Slippery Rock Creek, along which several historic milling sites are documented, including Courtneys Mills, Currys Mills, and Christleys Mills. These small settlements, once dependent on water power, are captured alongside more modern developments like the Radio Tower and Sewage Disposal plant.
