1957 Map of Beaver Falls

About this map

Geneva College stands as a prominent academic landmark overlooking the Beaver River in this mid-century portrait of industrial Pennsylvania. The landscape is defined by the sharp convergence of the Beaver River, Connoquenessing Creek, and Slippery Rock Creek, creating a corridor of heavy industry and transport infrastructure. Extensive Strip Mine operations are visible across the western hills, particularly near Glenkirk and Stockman, illustrating the region's reliance on mineral extraction alongside its manufacturing centers in Beaver Falls and Ellwood City.
