About this map

Greensburg serves as the focal point of this Westmoreland County landscape, dominated by its role as a regional seat of government and education. The Westmoreland County Courthouse anchors the urban center, while the campuses of Seton Hill University and the University of Pittsburgh - Greensburg illustrate the area's development into a major educational hub. The map reveals a dense network of suburban and industrial settlements like Jeannette, Southwest Greensburg, and South Greensburg that grew along the historic transportation corridors of western Pennsylvania.

Genealogists will find a wealth of burial sites, ranging from the large Westmoreland County Memorial Park and Saint Clair Cem to smaller family or denominational plots such as Steels Monument Cem and Harrold Zion Lutheran Cem. The terrain is defined by the winding paths of Jacks Run and Brush Cr, interspersed with named hollows like Coal Hollow that hint at the region's extractive industrial history.
