About this map

Canonsburg and its surrounding borough developments of Houston and Strabane anchor the southern portion of this landscape, where Chartiers Creek winds through a valley defined by significant residential growth and established industrial roots. To the north, the transition into Cecil and McDonald reveals a terrain carved by the Mohawk Valley and Robinson Run, reflecting the area's history of coal extraction, noted by Maude Mine Rd.

Genealogists will find a high density of burial sites across the township, ranging from the sprawling National Cem of the Alleghenies to smaller parish grounds like Saint Michaels Cem and Saint Patricks Cem. The mapping of former rail corridors, now preserved as the Montour Trl, alongside landmarks like the Morganza Reservoir and several named heights such as Sygan Hill, provides a detailed view of how the Washington County landscape has been repurposed for modern use while maintaining its historic settlement patterns.
