2010 Map of McGees Mills

About this map

McGees Mills sits at the southern edge of this landscape, marking a historic junction where Whisky Run and Bear Run converge near the Covered Bridge Rd. The area is defined by a dense network of winding rural roads and small settlements like Bowersville and Newtonburg that grew along the ridges and creek valleys. Central to the local infrastructure is the Punxsutawney Reservoir, held by Clover Dam along the course of Clover Run. This geography reveals a pattern of dispersed Appalachian settlement where family names are preserved in landmarks like McClure Cemetery and Bowers Cemetery. The map documents a landscape of numerous small runs and creeks, including Stump Creek and Ugly Run, which have historically shaped the road placements and property boundaries throughout Indiana County.
