1960 Map of Canonsburg

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Chartiers Creek winds through this industrial and residential landscape of the northern Washington Co coalfields during a period of significant postwar suburbanization and infrastructure growth. The dense settlement of Canonsburg serves as a focal point, neighboring the planned community of Strabane and the borough of Houston. The map illustrates the region's transition from a heavy mining economy to a modern transport hub, as evidenced by the bold purple addition of Interstate 79 cutting through the center of the sheet, crossing over established rail lines like the Montour RR and Conrail.
