About this map

Elderton and Shelocta anchor this mapping of western Pennsylvania's undulating landscape, where small crossroads settlements remain connected by a dense network of township roads. The northern portion is dominated by the sprawling waters of Keystone Lake, regulated by the Keystone Station Dam and fed by Plum Creek and Cessna Run. This reservoir, alongside smaller bodies like Shady Side Lake, indicates the region's managed water resources and industrial heritage.

Evidence of historical commerce and transport is scattered throughout the territory, from the rail-linked Fishers Siding along Crooked Creek to the Flying O Airport near Gastown. The terrain is punctuated by significant rises such as Russell Hill and Peterman Hill, which dictate the winding paths of rural routes like Barks Hill Rd and Dutch Run Rd. Longstanding communities like Idaho, Advance, and South Bend are documented here, offering a clear record of the area's transition into the early 21st century.
