2010 Map of Hilliards

About this map

Annandale Sandstone Quarry sits in the northwest corner of this Butler County landscape, marking the industrial activity that defined parts of this region. The map reveals a network of small settlements and family-named junctions, such as Higgins Corner, Argentine, and Whiskerville, connected by a web of local roads like Old Brick Rd and Cemetery Rd. The topography is carved by several waterways, including the South Branch Slippery Rock Creek and Silver Creek, which likely supported early local industry such as Walley Mill. The arrangement of these hamlets suggests a rural development pattern common to Pennsylvania, where crossroads often evolved around specific local resources or familial homesteads. Significant community hubs like North Washington and Hilliards provide focal points for this 2010 topographic survey, preserving the names of various runs and small lakes like Harbar Acres Lake.
