1947 Map of Switz City
USGS Topo · Published 1947About this map
Switz City serves as a central rail hub on this 1930s-era landscape, where the Pennsylvania and Illinois Central railroads intersect. This transportation junction supported a rural economy reliant on coal extraction, evident from several Coal Mines scattered across the township boundaries of Grant, Fairplay, and Washington. The interior is marked by a complex system of drainage infrastructure including the Letsinger Ditch, Shelkett Ditch, and Whorley Ditch, which managed the flow of Lattas Creek and its tributaries to support agricultural viability.
