2010 Map of Morgantown

About this map

Joanna Furnace and the industrial infrastructure of the West Branch Conestoga River valley anchor this study of southeastern Pennsylvania at the end of the first decade of the 2000s. The landscape is a mix of long-standing rural settlements like Churchtown and Alleghenyville alongside modern industrial footprints, most notably the Grace Mine and its accompanying Grace Mine Diversion Dam. For genealogists, the map is particularly detailed, locating several family-named and denominational burial grounds including Caernarvon Cemetery, the Alleghenyville Mennonite Cemetery, and the Mast Cemetery. The map also captures local recreational and commercial landmarks, from the Maple Grove Raceway and Maple Grove Park to the rolling terrain around Silver Hill. Transport patterns are defined by the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the Morgantown Expy, which converge near the historic center of Morgantown.
