About this map

Connoquenessing Creek snakes through the heart of this landscape, anchoring the borough of Zelienople and the adjacent community of Harmony. The area serves as a significant crossroads where the Baltimore and Ohio railroad meets major automotive routes like the Perry Highway and the Pennsylvania Turnpike. The map reveals a transition from industrial activity to recreational land use, featuring numerous strip mines and a quarry alongside established summer retreats like Camp Kon-O-Kwee and Camp Carondowanna.

Evidence of historical local industry is preserved in the label for Old Furnace, while regional infrastructure is marked by the Zelienople Municipal Airport. Smaller settlements such as Fombell, Wurtemburg, and Lillyville are scattered across the terrain of Wayne, Marion, and Jackson townships, providing a detailed look at the residential and agricultural footprint of Butler and Beaver counties during the mid-to-late 20th century.
