1958 Map of Worthington

About this map

The Baltimore and Ohio railroad corridor winds through the heavy industry and rural valleys of the Butler and Armstrong county line during the late 1950s. This survey illustrates a landscape defined by resource extraction, featuring numerous strip mines, a mine tipple, and brick kilns near Craigsville. The local economy is further evidenced by operations like Buffalo Mills and Dennys Mills, which sit alongside the winding path of Buffalo Creek. A section of the Benjamin Franklin Highway is shown as under construction near the county border, signaling the modernization of regional transport. For genealogists and local historians, the map preserves the locations of vital community centers such as McKee Chapel, St Johns Ch, and the Township Sch in Coyleville. Small rural clusters like Fenelton, Nichola, and Slate Lick appear in their mid-century form before significant suburban development altered the character of the Pennsylvania countryside.
