Summary[edit]
| Description |
English: One of three Topographic maps showing terrain between West Brownsville, PA and Malden, Pennsylvania to demonstrate terrain and road network changes with respect to the National Road since it was initially paved: • This map details the relative lack of roadside flat-areas along the (historic old wagon road) later designated US 40 (US Route 40). The topology of the series shows that the National Road had few places where immigrants, weary from descending through the perils of the wagon road from Uniontown, PA, had few or no places to pull over and rest or make camp. Once they'd reached the approaches to Brownsville Heights (aka Redstone Heights) about two miles east of the trun in Market Street (Today's Lane Bane Bridge abutments) — until they traveled the five miles or so (perhaps a full half-days travel) — until the family's Conestoga wagon reached the flat areas near the Malden Inn in Washington County, Pennsylvania. • This map in the series shows the community of Denbo Heights (lower left corner) & its intersection and approach road from Old US 40/National Road; also seen are the Monongahela River, railroad tracks and Lowhill Road (PA Route 88) along the bottom — while where Old US 40 and PA 88 converge along the river (bottom right) is the end of the descent (eastwards) on the outskirts of West Brownsville, PA. • Visible in the upper left corner: Highway PA 43, the north-south toll road once planned to connect Pittsburgh to Morgantown, WV is a highway it took several decades of funding struggles to gradually advance. It has yet to reach West Virginia. Others in this series & upload: |
