2013 Map of Donora

About this map

The Monongahela River and Youghiogheny River define the industrial and residential geography of this western Pennsylvania region. The city of Donora occupies a prominent bend in the Monongahela, connected to Webster by the Donora Webster Bridge. Further east, the Youghiogheny facilitates the growth of towns like Sutersville, West Newton, and Smithdale. The area between these river valleys is a transition of ridge lines and hollows, featuring Sheppler Hill and Becketts Run. Long-standing agricultural and community landmarks like the Rostraver Grange sit alongside modern developments such as the Rostraver Airport. This 2013 survey illustrates how transportation networks, including the Donora Webster Bridge and numerous local routes like Rostraver Rd, continue to bind these riverfront settlements together while preserving historic place names like Reduction and Collinsburg.
