About this map

The Allegheny River corridor dominates this industrial landscape, where the Pennsylvania RR and Bessemer and Lake Erie RR served a dense network of riverfront towns. By 1960, the region exhibited a mix of heavy industrial operations and established residential pockets, with communities like Acmetonia, Cheswick, and Springdale hugging the northern bank while Oakmont and Verona grew to the south. The presence of specialized sites such as a power plant, the Radio Towers (WKPA), and numerous strip mines illustrates the energy and communication infrastructure essential to mid-century Allegheny County.
