1953 Map of Murrysville

About this map

Industrial activity and community life intersect in this mid-century portrait of the Westmoreland County hills. Extensive Strip Mines and numerous Gas Wells underscore the region's energy-driven economy, while the Penn Central rail line and Turtle Creek corridor facilitate movement through the rugged terrain. Local civic centers are well-defined, including Sardis, Export, and the growing community of Murrysville, where the Franklin Twp High Sch and several pumping stations like Sloan Pumping Sta appear.
