USGS Topo · Published 1990About this map
Industrial activity and rural homesteads define this Lawrence County landscape during the late 1950s. The western edge is dominated by the Bessemer borough, where extensive extractive operations like the Strip Mine and various Reclaimed Strip Mines reveal the area's reliance on mineral wealth. This heavy industry is supported by a dense network of rail infrastructure, including the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie RR and the Baltimore & Ohio RR, which converge near Lawrence Junction.
