About this map

Industrial Washington County activity is evident in this early 1950s survey, where the coal and oil industries have left a distinct mark on the landscape. Numerous oil and gas wells dot the hillsides of Cecil and South Fayette, while extensive mine dump areas surround operations like National No 3 Mine and Lodie Mine. The region is crisscrossed by a dense rail network, including the Pittsburgh and West Virginia RR and the Pennsylvania RR, which served the active mining and manufacturing sectors in Canonsburg and Strabane.
