USGS Topo · Published 1933About this map
The industrial corridor of the Monongahela Valley is captured in detail as coal and steel drove the regional economy during the early 1930s. Tight bends of the Monongahela River are lined with coal-patch towns and industrial hubs like Monessen, Donora, and Charleroi, while the river itself serves as a major transit artery alongside the Pittsburgh & Lake Erie RR. The landscape is a dense network of family-named settlements and industrial sites, including the Vesta Mine and evocative place names such as Coal Bluff and Black Diamond.
