1960 Map of Mc Keesport

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The confluence of the Monongahela River and the Youghiogheny River anchors this industrial landscape, where the dense urban grid of Mc Keesport sits across from the heavy rail infrastructure and steel-town neighborhoods of Duquesne and Port Vue. These waterways are flanked by the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie Railroad and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, illustrating the transport-dependent economy of the Mon Valley in the mid-20th century. Beyond the city center, residential patterns climb the hills into White Oak and Versailles, while numerous strip mines dot the more rural expanses near Guffey and Shaner. The map is particularly detailed regarding institutional history, noting the Penn State Univ Cen, the St Josephs Convent, and significant burial grounds like the expansive McKeesport and Versailles Cemetery, which reflect the community's established social and religious fabric.
