2016 Map of Beaver

About this map

The confluence of the Beaver River and the Ohio River serves as the industrial and social heart of this 2016 survey, where the river-and-rail economy of Western Pennsylvania is on full display. Dense urban development clusters around the historic boroughs of Beaver Falls, Rochester, and Monaca, with the CSX railroad tracing the water's edge. This modern edition captures a region where heavy industry and residential life are tightly integrated, seen in the proximity of Joseptown and Industry to numerous religious and memorial sites like the Beaver Cem and Mausoleum and Saint Cecilia Cem. Educational institutions including Penn State Beaver and the Community College of Beaver County occupy significant tracts on the plateaus above the river valleys. Landmarks such as the Monaca Rochester Bridge and Lacock Bar highlight the critical role of river navigation and crossing in this transit-heavy corridor.
