1954 Map of Ellsworth

About this map

Marianna sits at a sharp bend in Tenmile Creek, highlighting the industrial and residential settlement patterns of Washington County during the mid-20th century. The landscape is a complex network of mining and transit, evidenced by several Strip Mines and the presence of the Conrail line connecting Cokeburg and Ellsworth. The historic National Road cuts across the center of the map, linking Scenery Hill and Beallsville, serving as a primary corridor for 1950s commerce and travel. Local life is centered around rural institutions like the West Bethlehem High Sch, Deemston Sch, and numerous hilltop churches such as Mt Calvary Ch. The transition between historic villages like Old Zollarsville and emerging housing at Pleasant View Heights illustrates the post-war evolution of Pennsylvania's coal country.
