1958 Map of Steubenville East

About this map

The Ohio River corridor bustles with industrial and institutional growth in the late 1950s, anchoring the communities of Steubenville and Wellsburg. The landscape is a study in mid-century development, where the College of Steubenville and numerous parochial schools like St Peters Sch and St Anthony Sch serve a growing population. Beyond the riverfront, the terrain transitions into the residential ridges of Archer Heights and Hooverson Heights, while the interior is marked by strip mines and industrial sites like the chemical works at Coketown. Transport infrastructure defines the era, from the Pennsylvania RR lines following the riverbanks to the Pittsburgh and Wabash Bridge spanning the water. Rural life persists in the eastern hills around Colliers and Eldersville, where historic congregations at Tent Ch and Ebenezer Ch remain local landmarks.
