1958 Map of Worthington

About this map

Buffalo Creek winds through this section of Armstrong and Butler Counties, where the mid-century landscape is defined by the intersection of industrial extraction and small-town settlement. The map reveals a high concentration of coal and stone production, with numerous Strip Mines, a Mine Tipple, and a Quarry dotting the hillsides near Buffalo Mills. Transport networks like the Baltimore and Ohio and the Winfield railroads facilitated the movement of resources, while established community centers like Worthington and West Winfield served as local anchors. For those looking for vanished social markers, the presence of the Township Sch near Coyleville and rural landmarks such as McKee Chapel offer evidence of the area's once-thriving rural school and church districts. The topographic detail highlights the deep valleys of Rough Run and Cornplanter Run, showing how industry adapted to the winding drainages of the Allegheny Plateau.
