1958 Map of Worthington

About this map

Worthington and the industrial corridors of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad define this landscape at the intersection of Armstrong and Butler counties. The 1958 survey, updated with 1970s revisions, highlights a region shaped by resource extraction and early milling, with numerous strip mines, a Quarry, and a Mine Tipple dotting the hillsides near Buffalo Creek. Local genealogy and community history are anchored by smaller settlements such as West Winfield, Fenelton, and Slate Lick, alongside rural landmarks like McKee Chapel and St Johns Ch. The map captures the transition from traditional water-powered sites like Buffalo Mills and Dennys Mills to modern infrastructure, including a prominent Television Tower and the expansion of the Benjamin Franklin Highway. This detailed record provides a clear view of mid-century Pennsylvania life, where township schools and family-named runs like Sipes Run and Cornplanter Run delineate the historic countryside.
