1954 Map of Greensburg

About this map

Greensburg serves as the focal point of this industrial and residential landscape in Westmoreland County, showing the city's mid-century expansion toward Southwest Greensburg and South Greensburg. The area is defined by the heavy presence of the Penn Central railroad corridors and the storied Lincoln Highway, which facilitated the growth of nearby manufacturing hubs like Jeannette. Local heritage is deeply etched into the terrain, from the Bushy Run Battlefield State Park in the northwest to the clusters of early parochial institutions such as Seton Hill College and the St Philomena Shrine Cem.
