About this map

Ernest and Creekside anchor this Indiana County landscape, where the industrial legacy of the coal industry is clearly marked by the R and P Coal Company Mine Waste Bank Dam. The area is notably defined by its waterway crossings, featuring three distinct historic structures: the Trusal Covered Bridge, Hamon Covered Bridge, and Thomas Covered Bridge. These bridges span Crooked Creek and its tributaries, connecting rural settlements like Five Points, Willet, and Chambersville.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds, including Speedy Cemetery and Old Washington Cemetery, alongside the modern residential clusters of Chevy Chase Heights and Fowler Heights. The infrastructure of the early 21st century is captured here, from the Lions Health Camp to the waters of the Cummings Reservoir, providing a detailed view of the region's mix of mining heritage, residential expansion, and preserved rural landmarks.
