USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
Industrial activity and rural settlement define the Westmoreland and Allegheny County borderlands in the early 1950s. Multiple Strip Mines and the Plum Creek Mine mark the hillsides, illustrating the heavy influence of coal extraction on the local landscape. The Penn Central rail line follows the valley of Turtle Creek, connecting the mining towns of Export and West Export with larger regional markets. Throughout the terrain, numerous gas wells and facilities like the Sloan Pumping Sta indicate the importance of the natural gas industry to the economy of Murrysville and Newlonsburg.
