1953 Map of Mc Keesport

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The industrial confluence of the Monongahela River and Youghiogheny River anchors this mid-century look at the Mon Valley. Heavy rail infrastructure, including the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie and Baltimore and Ohio, follows the riverbanks to serve the massive production centers of Mc Keesport, Duquesne, and Clairton. While the riverfronts are dominated by dense urban settlements and industrial works, the interior hills of White Oak and North Huntingdon reveal a landscape in transition, where postwar recreation sites like Rainbow Gardens Swimming Pool and a Miniature Railroad sit near active strip mines and the Hubbard Mine Shaft No 3. Genealogists will find a high density of named institutions, from the Boys Home in the city to numerous parochial cemeteries like Holy Family Cem and St Nicholas Cemetery.
