1963 Map of Hilliards

About this map

Slippery Rock Creek and its various branches, including the North Branch and South Branch, define the topography of this section of Butler County during the early 1960s. The landscape is heavily marked by the region's extraction industries, with extensive strip mines and oil wells scattered across the townships of Washington, Parker, and Concord. These industrial activities sit alongside established rural communities like Hilliards and North Washington. Local landmarks such as St Paschals Ch and the North Washington Sch provide essential points of interest for genealogists tracing family roots in these northern Pennsylvania settlements. The map also captures the extent of State Game Lands No 95 and the development of recreational water bodies like Harbar Acres Lake and Peaceful Valley Lake.
