About this map

Canonsburg and its surrounding coal-country townships define this topographic survey, which documents the industrial and residential development across the Allegheny Co and Washington Co line. The landscape is heavily marked by its resource economy, featuring numerous Mine Dumps, Quarries, and a network of Oil and Gas Wells. Transportation infrastructure is a central theme, with the Montour RR and Norfolk and Western lines threading through the valley of Millers Run.

Smaller settlements like Muse, Hendersonville, and Treveskyn are shown alongside essential community landmarks, including the State Training School near Morganza and the Cecil Jr High Sch. Social and leisure sites of the era are also captured, from the Drive-in Theater near Donaldsons Crossroads to the recreation grounds at Cabana Beach Park. Numerous family and religious burial sites, such as Bethany Cem and Robinson Run Cemetery, provide valuable anchor points for local genealogical research.
