1960 Map of Braddock

About this map

Industrial corridors and postwar suburban expansion define the landscape of eastern Allegheny County as it transitioned during the mid-century era. The Monongahela River and Allegheny River serve as the primary anchors for heavy industry and transit, supporting dense rail networks like the Pennsylvania RR and Union RR. Between these river valleys, the map captures the rapid densification of neighborhoods such as Penn Hills, Monroeville, and Churchill.
