Relief Map of Milton, PA 1883

From the book “Milton, Pennsylvania, the 19th Century Town on Limestone Run” by Homer F. Folk. The map is courtesy of the Reedy family, provided by George Venios.

Milton recovered quickly from the Great Fire of 1880. McCleery, Runkle & Newhard are no longer in business (the fire started in their car shop). Their land holdings have been purchased by Murray, Dougal & Company, who have enlarged their plant. The log holding basins were emptied of water and filled in during the early 1900s by the next owner, American Car & Foundry.
