About this map

Commodore and the surrounding townships of Indiana County appear here as a landscape defined by small settlements and family-named cemeteries. The area shows a clear pattern of historical rural development along the branching waters of N Br Two Lick Cr and S Br Two Lick Cr. Clusters of local history are evident in the numerous small burial grounds like Diamondville Cem and Saint Elizabeths Cem, which often anchor the identities of nearby hamlets such as Starford and Kenwood.

Transportation through the hills is facilitated by routes like Purchase Line Rd, a name reflecting the historical Purchase Line boundary nearby. In the southern portion, Heilwood and Mentcle sit near the headwaters of Yellow Cr, while Downes Airport provides a small aviation footprint amidst the farms and woods. The map reveals the intricate network of local roads like Dixonville Rd and Diamondville Rd that connect these tightly knit coal-country communities.
