About this map

Burgettstown and the surrounding rural landscape of Washington County are defined by a network of winding creeks and early industrial sites. The borough itself serves as the southern anchor of this region, with the nearby Francis Mine and The Panhandle Trl marking the legacy of the local coal and rail economy. To the north, the village of Frankfort Springs sits near the edge of Raccoon Creek State Park, while the Frankfort Springs Grange highlights the agricultural heritage of the area.

Water management is a central feature of the terrain, visible through structures like the Dinsmore Storage Number Two Dam, Flood Dam 482, and Flood Dam 483. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including Our Lady of Lourdes Cemetery and Chestnut Ridge Cemetery, along with smaller settlements such as Hamilton, Purdy, and Five Points. The presence of the Miller Airport and Ponderosa Golflands Golf Course shows the modern evolution of land use in this traditionally industrial and farming district.
