1958 Map of Evans City
USGS Topo · Published 1983About this map
Evans City and the neighboring borough of Harmony anchor this portrait of Butler County's industrial and agricultural landscape in the mid-20th century. The Baltimore and Ohio line threads through the valley of Connoquenessing Creek, connecting the active rail hub at Harmony Junction with smaller outposts like Buhls Sta and Watters. The map reveals a land transitioning from traditional farming to industrial extraction, evidenced by numerous Strip Mine operations and oil wells scattered across the hills near Wahlville and Middle Lancaster. Local social life is preserved through the locations of the Stamm Sch, Zion Ch, and the St Johns Ch in Petersville. Notable infrastructure including an Abandoned Tunnel near Watters and the Evans City Cemetery provides specific points of interest for local researchers and genealogists studying the evolution of these Pennsylvania townships.
