 Historically, at a bit upstream of the location of the Brownsville-West Brownsville Bridge was the Amerindian crossing ford and wagon road of early westward migrants.A few hundred yards west from the shoreline, PA Route 88 enters from along the riverside bluff and the south as "Lowhill Road" and hugs the foot of the steep Pennsylvania hillsides flanking tongue-shaped flat terrain of the streets and housing through most of the length of W. Brownsville before twisting left uphill.It exits the W. Brownsville flat climbing Northwest as "Blainsburg Road", climbing beside and below the bluff of Blainsburg, a larger 'satellite' bedroom community really an extension of the community, situated above West Brownsville proper, to its North-Northwest.
