1960 Map of Bridgeville
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
Mayview State Hospital and the sprawling grounds of the Immaculate Heart of Mary Seminary dominate the southern Allegheny County landscape during this era of suburban transition. The topography is defined by the winding course of Chartiers Creek and its many tributaries, such as McLaughlin Run and Peters Creek, which shaped the early development of Bridgeville and McMurray. A dense network of rail infrastructure including the Montour Railroad and Pennsylvania RR underscores the region's industrial heritage, even as new residential developments like Broadlawn Highlands and Ruthfred Acres began to replace older land uses. Notable local institutions, from the St Clair Country Club to numerous parish schools like St Joan of Arc Sch, illustrate the community-focused growth of the South Hills in the mid-twentieth century.
