1960 Map of Braddock
USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
Industrial development and dense residential expansion define this landscape where the Monongahela River meets the Allegheny River valley. The map documents the complex infrastructure of the steel era, showing major transport corridors like the Conrail and Pittsburgh and Lake Erie railroads serving heavy industrial zones marked by a Slag Dump. Above the riverfront hubs of Braddock and Duquesne, the terrain rises into residential enclaves such as Churchill, Eastmont, and Shannon Heights. The presence of numerous parochial institutions, including St Bartholomew Ch and St Robert Bellarmine Ch, alongside several golf courses like Edgewood Country Club, illustrates the mid-century suburbanization of the hills surrounding the urban core. Local history is deeply etched into the landscape via family and memorial landmarks like Woodlawn Cemetery and Restland Memorial Park (Cemetery).
