About this map

Southwest Greensburg and its neighboring boroughs form a dense suburban landscape in the hills of Westmoreland County. The area’s coal-mining heritage is subtly noted by features like Coal Hollow and Coal Tar Run, while the modern commercial and residential expansion is evident in the cluster of named neighborhoods like Basforth Acres, Beech Hills, and Maplewood Terrace. Transportation corridors such as the Pennsylvania Turnpike and local routes anchor the map, connecting the outlying settlements of Claridge and Bovard to the central urban core.

Genealogists and local historians can trace the development of smaller communities like Swede Hill and Fort Allen, or find landmarks such as Lynch Field and the Greensburg Jeannette Regional Airport. The geography is defined by a network of small waterways, including Brush Cr, Jacks Run, and Slate Cr, which historically influenced the placement of industrial and residential areas before the modern expansion seen here.
