1958 Map of Bessemer

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

The confluence of the Mahoning River and Shenango River anchors this 1958 survey, illustrating the industrial and agricultural landscape of Lawrence County. The rail infrastructure is particularly dense around Lawrence Junction, where the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie RR and Pennsylvania RR converge to serve the regional steel and coal economies. To the west, Bessemer (Walford Sta) represents a major industrial node, surrounded by numerous excavations including a Quarry and several Strip Mine sites that defined the local economy during the mid-century period.
