1960 Map of Emsworth

About this map

The Ohio River corridor and its surrounding northern suburbs define this 1960 landscape, showing a period of significant residential expansion into Ross and McCandless townships. Industrial and institutional footprints remain prominent along the river, most notably the expansive Dixmont State Hospital and the busy Pennsylvania RR lines serving Emsworth, Avalon, and Bellevue. Further north, the suburban character of Ingomar and Perrysville is visible through its dense network of schools, including North Allegheny High Sch and Vincentian High Sch, while specialized landmarks like the Mt Nebo Grange Hall and Tree of Life Memorial Park speak to the area's local community roots.
