Summary[edit]

Description
English: This map in the series shows the community of Malden sandwiched and nearly overwhelmed by the new highway projects since 1960. The community of Denbo Heights is seen across the PA 43 cloverleafs and roadbed SE of the intersection. The Pennsylvania borough headquarters building is located a short distance from old US 40 (the National Pike) along the approach road to the housing neighborhood. That town building currently registers as the GNIS co-ordinates for the Borough of Centerville, Pennsylvania, which is far to the east from the geographic center of the borough.

• One of three Topographic maps showing terrain between West Brownsville, PA and Malden, Pennsylvania to demonstrate:
•  The rerouting of the National Road (ca. 1961) bypassing downtown Brownsville, PA this series shows the road convergence between the old and new roadbeds of US 40.
•  The topology of the series shows that the National Road (US Route 40) had few places (little or none) where immigrants weary from descending the perils of the wagon road from Uniontown, PA had little or no place to pull over and rest or camp out once they reached Brownsville Heights (aka Redstone Heights) until they traveled the five miles or so (perhaps a full half-days travel) until the family Conestoga wagon reached the flat areas near the Malden Inn in Washington County, Pennsylvania.
•  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.
