About this map

Lake Donegal and the winding Champion Creek corridor define this corner of the Laurel Highlands, where the Westmoreland and Fayette county lines converge. The landscape is marked by high points like Sun Hill and Jockey Knob, with numerous small communities and family burial sites scattered throughout the drainages of Indian Creek and Jacobs Creek. Settlement patterns follow the valley floors and ridges, connecting the boroughs of Donegal and Indian Head with smaller hamlets like Normalville and Melcroft.

Genealogists will find this 2019 survey particularly valuable for its precise documentation of numerous family plots and smaller cemeteries. Named sites including the Keefer Family Cemetery, Sweitzer Huzak Family Cemetery, and Dan Snyder Cemetery appear alongside established church yards like Good Hope Lutheran Cemetery. This modern record of the region captures the enduring rural character of these Pennsylvania townships.
