About this map

The Allegheny River and Kiskiminetas River anchor this landscape in western Pennsylvania, where industrial riverfronts meet the rural uplands of Armstrong County. In the southern corner, Leechburg and Hyde Park sit at a sharp bend in the Kiskiminetas, while further north, the Allegheny winds past Nicholson Island and the settlement of McVille. This era is characterized by a network of small, scattered communities like Dime, Georgetown, and Banfield, connected by a complex system of hollows and ridges.

Local landmarks such as the Old Gum Tree and Lookabough Corners highlight the enduring character of the road network, while aviation is represented by both McVille Airport and Kikkatuck Airport. Geologists and researchers can trace the drainage patterns of Crooked Creek near the Crooked Creek Dam and numerous runs including Guffy Run and Beers Run. The map also preserves the locations of several burial grounds, including the Ukrainian Cemetery and Porter Cemetery, which serve as vital points of reference for genealogical study.
