USGS Topo · Published 1955About this map
Washington and its eastern suburbs are shown here during a period of significant post-war expansion and industrial activity. The landscape is heavily marked by the coal industry, featuring numerous extraction sites like the Lindley Mine and Mc Lane Mine alongside a network of transport lines including the Baltimore and Ohio RR and the Pennsylvania RR. Education and community life are anchored by Washington and Jefferson College and several local high schools, while the presence of the Hillsview Sanatorium and multiple religious sites such as Hill Church and Beth Israel Cemetery reflect the institutional history of South Strabane.
