About this map

The Beaver River corridor serves as the primary axis for this landscape, supporting a series of industrial and residential hubs including Beaver Falls and Ellwood City. The topography is defined by the deep incising of the river and its many tributaries, such as Connoquenessing Creek and Slippery Rock Creek, which carve through the plateau. This drainage pattern historically dictated the placement of rail and road infrastructure, visible in the concentrated development at Koppel and Ellwood Junction.

Evidence of the region's industrial heritage is found at the Thompson Run Mines, while local genealogy is anchored by several burial grounds like Clinton Cemetery and Providence Cemetery. The map also illustrates the transition to recreational land use with several golf courses, including Stonecrest Golf Course and Fox Run Golf Course, positioned on the higher ground overlooking the river valley. From the residential streets of West Mayfield to the waters of the Big Beaver Pond, the sheet captures a mature industrial river valley at the start of the 21st century.
