1954 Map of Burgettstown

About this map

The industrial and recreational landscapes of northern Washington County intersect in this mid-century portrait, where the Burgettstown borough serves as a hub for the surrounding townships. Extensive Strip Mine operations dominate the topography between Frankfort Springs and Florence, illustrating the intensive coal extraction that defined the local economy during this era. These mining tracts are often bounded by emerging conservation efforts, including Raccoon Creek State Park to the north and Hillman State Park near the center of the sheet.
