1960 Map of Emsworth

About this map

The Ohio River corridor and its surrounding northern suburbs show a landscape in transition, where established river towns meet the expanding residential tracts of the 1950s. Near the water, the Dixmont State Hospital and Emsworth Dam anchor the riverbank in Kilbuck, while the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie RR follows the southern shore. This era is marked by the presence of numerous religious and educational institutions, such as Mt Nazareth Academy and Vincentian High Sch, reflecting the community's growth. To the north, the sprawling acreage of North Park and the State Game Commission land provide a stark contrast to the burgeoning neighborhoods of Ingomar, Wexford, and Perrysville. Notable local landmarks like the Mt Nebo Grange Hall and several cemeteries, including Franklin Cem and the North Side Cemetery, offer significant details for genealogical research and local history studies.
