1960 Map of New Kensington West

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The industrial corridor along the Allegheny River defines this region during a period of significant mid-century suburban expansion. The heavy infrastructure of the Penn Central and Bessemer and Lake Erie railroads supports the dense riverfront settlements of New Kensington, Oakmont, and Springdale. Purple-tinted revisions from 1969 highlight the northward spread of residential developments like Magill Heights and Allegheny Acres, contrasting with the more established grid of Arnold and Parnassus.
