1922 Map of Donegal

About this map

Donegal and the surrounding townships of Westmoreland and Fayette counties appear here during a period of established mountain communities and emerging roadway networks. The landscape is defined by the high ridges of Painter Rock Hill and Spook Hill, where small settlements like Stahlstown and Kregar are connected by early designated routes such as State Highway No 302. The economy of the era is visible in the distribution of local industry and infrastructure, from the Pennsylvania RR lines serving Mammoth and United to the water-powered sites of Hoods Mill and Horner Mill. Local life centers on numerous small institutions, including St Boniface Chapel, Zion Church, and specialized facilities like the Jockey Knob School. The map captures the intricate drainage patterns of Indian Creek and Loyalhanna Creek, which carved the valleys where many of these rural crossroads developed.
