About this map

The Beaver River and Connoquenessing Creek converge in this industrial corridor, shaping the development of Ellwood City and Beaver Falls. The landscape is a dense assembly of borough neighborhoods and institutional landmarks, notably the Geneva College campus on College Hill. Local history is preserved through numerous religious and municipal sites, including Saint Agatha / Holy Redeemer Cem and the Beaver Falls Cem and Mausoleum.

Smaller settlements like Koppel, Homewood, and West Mayfield trace the rail and river transport lines that defined the region's 20th-century growth. Beyond the urban centers, the topography rises toward Steffens Hill and the wooded drainages of Thompson Run and Walnut Bottom Run. The inclusion of the W Country National Scenic Trail in the northwestern corner highlights the contemporary reuse of the terrain adjacent to traditional industrial hubs like Possum Hollow.
