2016 Map of Donegal

About this map

The Laurel Highlands border of Westmoreland and Fayette counties is defined by a landscape of high ridges and narrow creek valleys. This 2016 survey shows the transition from the resort and residential areas of Bear Rocks and Cummingswood Park in the north down to the long-standing communities of Melcroft and Indian Head. The local geography is shaped by the drainage of Indian Creek, Champion Creek, and Jacobs Creek, with Lake Donegal and the Green Lick Reservoir serving as primary water features. Genealogists and local historians will find several small settlements and family-named landmarks, such as Brown Cemetery and Jockey Knob, interspersed among a dense network of mountain roads like Kreinbrook Hill Road and Chestnut Ridge Road. The map documents the enduring rural character of towns like Normalville and Sagamore, where the rugged terrain has historically dictated the path of human settlement and transport.
