1954 Map of Ellsworth

About this map

Cokeburg and Ellsworth center this industrial landscape during a period of infrastructure modernization, where the legacy of coal mining meets the expanding utility corridor. The map reveals a dense network of energy and transport, from the Penn Central railroad lines to the numerous Gas Well and Oil Well sites dotting the hills of Somerset and North Bethlehem. In the southern reaches, the twin settlements of Marianna and East Marianna sit along the winding Tenmile Creek, supported by the West Bethlehem High Sch and several Mine Dump locations that reflect the era's primary industry. Rural life remains visible through family-named landmarks and institutions like the Ulery Sch and Pigeon Creek Cem, while the historic National Road cuts across the center through Scenery Hill. This survey captures the transition as purple 1969 revisions overlay the original 1954 data, showing the growth of Richeyville and Bentleyville.
