2010 Map of Burnside

About this map

Glen Campbell and Burnside serve as the primary hubs in this corner of Indiana County, where the upper reaches of the West Branch Susquehanna River wind through a landscape defined by small settlements and rural junctions. The area is dotted with historic burial grounds including Saint Michaels Cemetery, Urey Cemetery, and Thompson Cemetery, which provide critical touchpoints for genealogical research in this coal-country region. Settlement patterns follow the many winding tributaries such as Boiling Spring Run, South Branch Cush Creek, and Sawmill Run, connecting scattered communities like Hooverhurst, Arcadia, and Patchinville. The presence of Dowler Junction and Cush Creek Junction hints at the historic rail-and-timber infrastructure that once shaped these valleys. Modern recreation is also represented by the Chetremon Golf Course near the southern bend of the Susquehanna, illustrating the shift from industrial to mixed land use in the early 21st century.
