1961 Map of Mather
USGS Topo · Published 1963About this map
Coal production and heavy river traffic define the landscape along the Monongahela River during the early 1960s. The region is marked by an extensive industrial infrastructure, including the Emerald Mine and several substantial mine dumps that flank the winding course of Tenmile Creek. The Monongahela Railway hugs the riverbank, serving riverfront settlements like Rices Landing and Pitt Gas. These company-driven housing developments, such as the Braden Plan and Tesgarden Homes, reflect the organized expansion of residential life around the collieries.
