1957 Map of Beaver Falls

About this map

Beaver Falls and Ellwood City anchor this industrial corridor along the Beaver River and Connoquenessing Creek during the late 1950s. The landscape is a complex mix of dense urban development, active resource extraction, and expanding transportation infrastructure. The newly constructed Pennsylvania Turnpike cuts through the center of the sheet, intersecting the valley near Koppel. In the southern half, College Hill is dominated by the campus of Geneva College, while the surrounding hillsides are marked by numerous Strip Mines and local schools like Hillcrest Sch and North Star Sch.
