USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Industrial hubs and suburban expansion characterize this southern Allegheny County landscape as captured in the early 1950s. The Monongahela River serves as the primary artery for heavy industry, with the dense riverside settlements of Clairton, Glassport, and Elizabeth showing a complex weave of rail lines and shorefront facilities. Further inland, the map documents the post-war growth of residential communities like Brentwood, Whitehall, and Pleasant Hills.
