About this map

Chestnut Ridge dominates the northern landscape of this Indiana County region, where the steep terrain drops toward the Two Lick Creek Reservoir and the winding course of Yellow Creek. This area is characterized by a dense network of small family and community burial grounds, reflecting the deep-rooted settlement history of places like Brush Valley and Penn Run. The map records several legacy sites, including the Brush Valley Methodist Cem and the Dutch Bethel Evangelical Cem, which serve as vital touchpoints for local genealogy.

Lower-elevation settlements such as Waterman, Luciusboro, and Littletown are situated along the southern creek branches, including Brush Creek and Spruce Hollow Run. These names, alongside family-named landmarks like Evans Hill and Moose Hill, provide a detailed record of the 21st-century rural landscape, where the Yellow Creek State Park Trails Trl now weaves through the valleys once defined by early homesteads.
