About this map

Chestnut Ridge and the waters of Lake Arthur define the northern reaches of this landscape in Butler County. The map captures a region in transition, where legacy industry like the Strip Mine and Reclaimed Strip Mine sites sit alongside growing mid-century residential developments such as Northvue, Timberly Heights, and Windward Heights. For genealogists, the map is particularly rich in family-named locations and burial sites, including Mt Chestnut Cem, Greenlawn Cemetery, and St Peters Cem.

Transportation patterns reflect the era's shift from rail to road, with an Old Railroad Grade cutting through the terrain near Queen Junction while commercial hubs like the Clearview Shopping Mall and Butler Shopping Mall emerge to the south. The rural character is preserved in the network of country lanes like Old Candy Road and Rider Church Road, providing a detailed view of the small settlements of Unionville, Jamisonville, and Oneida before further suburban expansion.
