1958 Map of Butler

About this map

Butler and its industrial surroundings are captured in this mid-century topographic record, showing the city's transition as it grew beyond its traditional boundaries. Significant healthcare infrastructure is prominent, notably the Deshon V A Hospital and Butler Memorial Hospital. The landscape is etched with the routes of major railroads, including the Baltimore and Ohio, Penn Central, and Bessemer and Lake Erie, which helped shape the satellite communities of Lyndora, Meridian, and Renfrew.
