About this map

Chicora and Millerstown anchor the western edge of this landscape, where the headwaters of Buffalo Creek and Sugar Creek carve into the plateau. The map reveals a dense network of rural settlements connected by winding township roads and state routes, including Karns City in the north and the clustered valley communities of Kaylor and Kaylor Bridge. The geography is defined by a series of north-south running streams, such as Buffalo Run and Patterson Creek, which have influenced the placement of longstanding crossroads like Kepples Corners and Rattigan.

Genealogists and local researchers will find significant markers of community history, from the White Oak Cemetery near the center of the sheet to smaller outlying hamlets like Greenville and Fosters Mills. Modern infrastructure, notably the Waltman Airport, sits alongside these older rural patterns, while the rugged topography of Kittanning Hollow marks the eastern approach toward the sharp bend in the river at Bradys Bend.
