Description

View of McKees Rocks, Allegheny County, P.A., 1901 / drawn & published by T. M. Fowler & James B. Moyer.

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.
