About this map

The S Fork Little Conemaugh River carves a deep path through this section of the Allegheny Plateau, anchoring a string of historic coal and industrial settlements including Beaverdale, Lloydell, and Dunlo. This 2019 survey illustrates the dense concentration of religious and community landmarks that defined these mountain towns, specifically noted through sites like Saint Mary's Byzantine Catholic Cem and Saints Peter and Paul Byzantine Catholic Cem.

The landscape transitions sharply from the clustered residential streets of Llanfair and Puritan to the high, wooded elevations of the Cambria and Bedford County line. To the east, the topography rises toward Round Top, overlooking the Beaverdam Run drainage. Significant family and community burial grounds, such as Sherbine Cem and Mount Olive Cem, are scattered across the higher benches above the river valleys, providing a clear map for genealogical research in this historic mining region.
