2019 Map of Johnstown

About this map

Johnstown and its surrounding boroughs sit at the confluence of the Stonycreek River and the Little Conemaugh River, forming the headwaters of the Conemaugh River. This landscape is defined by deep river valleys and the looming Laurel Hill to the west, where the Conemaugh Gorge cuts through the ridge. The map reveals an exceptionally dense concentration of ethnic and denominational heritage through its numerous cemeteries, such as Saint Nicholas Serbian Orthodox Church Cem, Hungarian Cem, and Saint Marys Byzantine Catholic Cem. These labels reflect the industrial migration patterns of the early twentieth century that shaped neighborhoods like Cambria City and Minersville. Higher elevations like Westmont and Southmont overlook the central business district, while the outlying hollows like Heckman Hollow and Moonshine Hollow show the transition into the more rural terrain of Cambria Co and Somerset Co.
