Description
Formerly a cluster of Native American villages controlled by the Six Nations of the Iroquois, the city of Lock Haven, PA was organized in 1833 and prospered during the 19th century as a timber and transportation hub. This street plan was designed in 1938 by the Works Progress Administration and published locally by the office of the city engineer. In it, a basic grid system is organized by wards with primary locations of interest and transportation routes individually labeled.
This particular example has been customized for use in the Central Engineering Department of the Pennsylvania Railroad. It has been dissected and mounted on linen and vivid color has been applied by hand to denote track and property ownership of the Penn R.R. Additional manuscript notes in black ink identify the location of the passenger station, freight station, line branches, and connecting destinations.
