1906 Map of Burgettstown

About this map

Burgettstown and the surrounding coal-rich townships of Washington and Allegheny counties are captured here during a period of intense industrial and rail expansion. The landscape is defined by the convergence of major transit lines, notably the Pittsburgh Cincinnati Chicago and St Louis RR, which links settlements like Midway and Bulger to the broader regional economy. Evidence of the burgeoning extraction industry is visible at the Francis Mine and Shaw Mine, highlighting the area's transition toward industrialization.
