1953 Map of Bridgeville

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

Chartiers Creek and the Pittsburgh and West Virginia Railway define the industrial and transit corridor of this mid-century landscape. The map captures a period of intense suburban transition in the South Hills, where residential developments like Beverly Heights and Ruthfred Acres sit adjacent to active and legacy resource extraction sites. Evidence of the region's energy history is everywhere, from the Bower Hill Oil Well and various Gas Wells to the extensive Mine Dump and Strip Mine operations.
