1936 PennDot Plans
The first four maps are from a 1936 plan that covers the intersection with SR 519 (formerly LR 62075). Included is the Title Sheet/Index Map, General Notes and two plan view sheets. This plan starts about 2000 feet east of the intersection with SR 519 and continues westward to the Village of Pancake. The two plan view sheets cover the 2000 foot section.

SOURCE: 1936 "Pennsylvania Department of
Transportation [PennDOT] Drawing [Plans] for Construction and Condemnation of
Right Away Route No. 113 [Now Rt. 40] Section No. 9B in Washington County PA
From Sta. 1524+00 to Sta. 1789+20". These plans were prepared prior
to 'straightening' major curves of the original Federally owned road, which
was transferred to the control, management and upkeep of U.S. Route 40 a.ka.
The National Pike. The changes/straightening of Rt. 40 left numerous
"pieces" which later were either re-named as township roads, or
pieces which dead-end. Some pieces dead-end on both sides that used to be Rt.
40, with the middle piece re-absorbed into the current landholder's acreage.
This webpage documents the landowners on both sides of The National Pike, Rt. 40, from the 1936 map file titled "6200400270001.TIF". The original files were over 27Megabytes. They have been reduced for this website but are still quite large. See list of each 1936 Map.
