1940 Aerial View Pennsylvania Turnpike

This 1940 vintage postcard presents an aerial view of the 13-mile tangent of the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Cumberland County, capturing the early days of America's first superhighway. The light-colored roadway cuts a precise line through a patchwork of green and brown fields, forested areas, and gently rolling hills. In the distance, a mountain range rises beyond the valley, adding depth to the scenic landscape. A few vehicles can be spotted on the turnpike, highlighting its role as a vital transportation route even then. This postcard offers a striking visual of mid-20th-century progress and would look great framed or be an excellent addition to any collection.
