1953 Map of Washington East

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The industrial and educational hub of Washington anchors this southwestern Pennsylvania landscape, home to the campus of Washington and Jefferson College. Heavy industry and the region's coal-mining legacy are evident in the numerous Mine Dumps and stone quarries clustered around Meadow Lands and Manifold. The map captures a mid-century moment where expanding infrastructure, including Interstate 70 and the National Road, began to weave through older rural settlements like Eighty Four and Laboratory.
