1960 Map of Mc Keesport

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Youghiogheny River winds through this industrial heartland, meeting the Monongahela River at the prominent river-bend city of Mc Keesport. This 1960s-era landscape is defined by its deep-rooted ethnic and religious heritage, evidenced by a dense concentration of parish landmarks like St Nicholas Cem, St Joseph Ch, and St Stephens Ch. The rail-dominated riverfronts, served by the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie and Baltimore and Ohio railroads, support heavy industry while smaller settlements like Greenock, Boston, and Buena Vista hug the river valley. Higher elevations reveal a shift toward public spaces and education, including Renziehausen Park and the Elizabeth-Forward High Sch. Evidence of the region's extractive economy remains visible through scattered Strip Mine sites and gas wells, contrasting with the established residential street grids of West Mifflin and Duquesne.
