1910 Map of New Kensington

About this map

The Allegheny River defines the industrial and geographic character of this region, winding past the growing centers of New Kensington, Arnold, and Parnassus. In the early 20th century, these riverfront communities were hubs of aluminum manufacturing and glass production, visible here before extensive modern expansion. To the north and west, the landscape transitions into a series of smaller rural settlements like Saxonburg and Bakerstown, connected by a network of runs and creeks such as Deer Creek and Glade Run.
