1954 Map of Monongahela

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

The Monongahela River carves a deep industrial valley through this landscape, serving as the primary corridor for the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie and Conrail railroads. During the mid-century era, this reach of the river was a dense network of industrial towns and coal-related infrastructure, from the ship-loading points at Shire Oaks and Bunola to the urban centers of Monongahela and Monessen.
