1960 Map of Ambridge

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Ohio River industrial corridor dominates this landscape, showing a dense network of river-and-rail infrastructure as it appeared during the mid-century manufacturing peak. The riverfront is lined with major settlements from Aliquippa and Ambridge down to Coraopolis, where the P & L E and Penn Central railroads flank the banks. This survey captures a significant transition in land use, noting the expansion of the Greater Pittsburgh Airport in the south alongside older landmarks like the Old Economy Historical Site and the Dixmont State Hospital.
