1953 Map of New Kensington West

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

The Allegheny River defines the industrial and residential development of this region, separating New Kensington and Arnold on the eastern bank from the dense network of boroughs on the west. In the mid-1950s, the river serves as a primary transit and power corridor, anchored by Lock and Dam No 3 and the New Kensington Bridge. The landscape is a complex mix of heavy industry and suburban expansion, where the Russellton Mine and various strip mines sit alongside established communities like Springdale and Oakmont.
