1967 Map of Donegal

About this map

Chestnut Ridge defines the western landscape of this 1967 survey, while the eastern edge follows the corridor of the Pennsylvania Turnpike near Donegal. The economy of the era is clearly visible through the numerous strip mines and mine dumps that dot the hillsides, particularly near White and Melcroft. Transport and industrial patterns center on the Baltimore and Ohio railroad line which snakes along Indian Creek, connecting small settlements like Davistown, Sagamore, and Indian Head. Local life is anchored by landmarks such as Mt Zion Ch and Lake Donegal, while the terrain rises to notable peaks like Jockey Knob and Sun Hill. Small enclaves and family-named landmarks such as Coffman and Millertown are documented before significant late-20th-century development altered the character of these rural communities near the Westmoreland and Fayette county line.
