2016 Map of Elderton

About this map

Elderton and its neighboring rural townships are defined by a complex network of ridges and winding waterways along the border of Armstrong and Indiana Counties. The landscape is anchored by the large Keystone Lake to the north and the meandering path of Crooked Creek which flows past the settlement of Idaho. For those researching local families, the map identifies several significant burial grounds, including the Montgomery Family Cem and the South Bend Cem, alongside central congregational sites like the Elderton Presbyterian Church. The settlement pattern follows the contours of the land, with small communities like Shelocta, Gastown, and Advance connected by a web of named secondary roads such as Cessna Run Rd and Barks Hill Rd. The prominence of Russell Hill and the numerous named runs, such as Cheese-Run and Anthony Run, illustrate the deeply dissected topography that has influenced the development of this Pennsylvania countryside.
