2023 Map of Blairsville

About this map

The Conemaugh River and Blacklick Creek converge at the boundary of Indiana Co and Westmoreland Co, shaping a landscape defined by water and early transportation routes. Centered on Blairsville, this study shows the town's grid and its relationship to the Blairsville Riverfront Trl and the Kiski-Conemaugh River Water Trl. The map is particularly useful for genealogical research, documenting several distinct burial grounds including Saints Simon and Jude Cem, the large Blairsville Cem, and rural locations like the Livermore Baptist Church Cem and Old Salem Cem. Smaller settlements such as Bairdstown, Burrell, and Brenizer appear along the river and rail corridors. The surrounding hills are marked by family-named routes and landmarks like Bear Cave Hollow and Dunlea Airpark, reflecting the region's mix of residential, industrial, and recreational uses near the river bends.
