1902 Map of Brownsville
USGS Topo · Published 1902About this map
The Monongahela River carves a deep, winding industrial corridor through the heart of this turn-of-the-century landscape, flanked by bustling river towns and active mining operations. This era of heavy production is evident in the concentration of riverside settlements like Charleroi, Monessen, and Monongahela, which relied on the Pittsburg & Lake Erie RR and the Pennsylvania RR for transport. Industry and geology meet at sites like Vesta Mine and Black Diamond, while the ancient transit route of the National Pike cuts across the southern portion of the sheet near Brownsville.
