About this map

Derry and its surrounding coal-country neighborhoods anchor this 2010 study of Westmoreland County. The landscape is defined by the winding course of Loyalhanna Creek as it carves through the Loyalhanna Gorge, passing the natural landmark of Buttermilk Falls near Idlepark. The map documents a dense network of smaller settlements that grew around the region's industrial past, including Bradenville, Peanut, and New Derry.

Family researchers will find several well-documented burial grounds, from the Coles Cemetery north of the main borough to the Saint James Cemetery near Youngstown. The infrastructure of the area is further marked by water management features like the Kennametal Reservoir and Ethel Springs Lake, which sit alongside established residential tracts and the recreational grounds of the Timberlinks Golf Course.
