1954 Map of Midway

About this map

Industrial and rural landscapes intersect across this 1950s survey of Washington County, Pennsylvania. The coal-rich terrain is heavily shaped by extractive industry, notably around Westland and Midway, where numerous notations for Strip Mines, a Mine Dump, and the Allison Shaft suggest the heavy footprint of mining. Transportation is vital to this economy, shown through the busy corridors of the Montour and Pennsylvania railroads, which navigate the hilly topography using engineering works like the Acheson Tunnel and Hickory Tunnel.
