1963 Map of Brush Valley

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Brush Valley and Penn Run anchor this mid-century portrait of Indiana County, where agricultural valleys are marked by an increasing industrial footprint. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Two Lick Creek and Yellow Creek, which carved the surrounding hills. By the early 1960s, extensive strip mines began to reshape the terrain between Luciusboro and Mentch, while a complex network of infrastructure, including the Yellow Creek Railroad and multiple pipelines, highlights the area's role in regional resource extraction. Genealogists will find a wealth of local data in the numerous family and community burial grounds, such as Harmony Cem, Cresswell Cem, and Frye Cem, which remain scattered across the rural townships of Cherryhill and Brushvalley.
