1953 Map of Irwin
USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
North Huntingdon and Sewickley townships are defined here by a landscape undergoing significant industrial and residential shifts in the early 1950s. The dominance of the Pennsylvania railroad and the Pennsylvania Turnpike illustrates the area's role as a vital transportation corridor, while numerous Strip Mines and Mine Dumps near Wendel and Darragh signal the persistent legacy of bituminous coal mining. Local history and genealogy are anchored by landmarks like the Bushy Run Battlefield State Park and the Old Quaker Cem (Historical). The map details established settlements such as Irwin and Herminie, alongside smaller mining patches like Edna No 1 and Edna No 2. From the Irwin Airport to the Braddocks Camp Historical Marker, the survey captures a specific Westmoreland County topography where rural legacy meets industrial utility.
