USGS Topo · Published 1964About this map
The industrial corridor of the Pennsylvania railroad and the Lincoln Highway defines this portion of Westmoreland County during the mid-century. Industrial and mining operations are woven into the landscape, evidenced by numerous Strip Mines and the Coke Ovens near Ardara. While larger hubs like Irwin and Jeannette anchor the commercial geography, the map reveals a dense network of smaller coal-patch towns and residential clusters such as Shafton, Paintertown, and Wendel.
