1958 Map of Edinburg

About this map

The Shenango River and Mahoning River converge in this western Pennsylvania landscape, defining a region where heavy industry and rural life exist in close proximity. The river corridors are crowded with mid-century transportation infrastructure, including the Erie-Lackawanna, Penn Central, and Baltimore And Ohio railroads that supported the local economy. While settlements like Edinburg and New Bedford maintain a traditional structure with landmarks like St James Ch and Cotton Sch, the landscape also shows the physical marks of extraction at the Strip Mine and various quarries.
