This panoramic print of
McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania was drawn by Thaddeus Mortimer Fowler and
published by T. M. Fowler & James B. Moyer in 1901. McKees Rocks sits
just northwest of Pittsburgh along the Ohio River where Chartiers Creek
runs into it. McKees Rocks was settled in the late 1700's on former
Native American burial grounds and named after land patent owner
Alexander McKee.
The “Bottoms” portion of town became a major railroad
depot with a complicated switching railroad, locomotive and car shops
and two large roundhouses. By 1901, McKees Rocks’ economic interests
were focusing on the iron and steel industry.
The 1901 map shows
railroad shops and roundhouses, labeled streets, buildings and railroad
routes.
