1964 Map of Smithfield
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
Extensive coal mining and industrial infrastructure define this Fayette County landscape during the mid-1960s, with updates reflecting the early 1970s. The region is marked by numerous strip mines and industrial artifacts like the coke ovens near Leckrone. High-density rail networks, including the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad and various branches, connect centers like Smithfield and Fairchance. This era shows a transition where traditional landmarks like the Ruble Mill and Mt Moriah Ch coexist with modern additions like a drive-in theater near York Run. The settlement pattern follows the drainages of Georges Creek and York Run, where small mining communities and junctions like York Run Junction reveal the historical economic dependence on the underlying geology of the Appalachian Plateau.
