This map is by A. B.
Dunning, Jr., Street Commissioner,
copyrighted by Julius Bien & Co. N. Y. It shows the wards,
railways,
schools, churches, municipal buildings, collieries, culm piles, larger
manufacturing sites, larger cemeteries, and other prominent features.
It
is enlarged to show detail. Because the orientation is not north and
south, the image at the left is provided as a guide. For a full size of the whole map, pieced together from six overlapping scans, there are two options. Some things along the overlaps may not be legible - see the individual sections.
