1961 Map of Strongstown

About this map

Strongstown sits at the center of this 1961 survey, where the rural character of Indiana County is shaped by a legacy of resource extraction and community faith. Numerous country churches like Spruce Grove Ch and St Patricks Ch serve as local landmarks alongside smaller settlements such as Heilwood and Pineton. The landscape reveals the industrial footprint of the era, marked by an Old Railroad Grade and active Mines, including a visible Strip Mine and Mine Dump in the northern hills. Along the southern border, State Game Lands No 79 provides a preserved wooded contrast to the Gas Wells and pipelines that traverse the township. The drainage network, featuring Yellow Creek and Blacklick Creek, once supported local industry at places like Red Mill and Ewings Mill, while White Mill Crossing marks an old point of transit.
