About this map

Slippery Rock Creek meanders through this landscape on the border of Lawrence and Butler counties, anchoring a network of small settlements and rural homesteads. The village of Harlansburg serves as a central hub, where several local routes converge near the southern reaches of the map. To the north, the industrial legacy of the region is subtly marked by No 2 Mine Rd and the small communities of Drake and Brent, while Stevenson Cem provides a point of interest for those tracing family lineages in the area.

Water plays a defining role in the local geography, from the Chambers Reservoir in the west to the numerous runs like Taylor Run and Jamison Run that feed into the larger creek system. Further east, Elliotts Mills and Plain Grove illustrate the historical distribution of small-town centers during the mid-2010s, connected by a dense grid of township roads such as Oregon Rd and Black Rd that navigate the varied topography of Western Pennsylvania.
