1953 Map of Glenshaw
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Industrial activity and community expansion define this early 1950s landscape north of Pittsburgh. Along the Baltimore and Ohio rail corridor, the towns of Glenshaw and Allison Park serve as central hubs for the surrounding hills of Hampton and Shaler townships. The economy of the era is anchored by large-scale extraction, evidenced by the Wildwood Mine and the Dorseyville Portal Harmar Mine, while the newly constructed Pennsylvania Turnpike cuts across the northern reaches, complete with the Butler Valley Interchange Toll House.
