About this map

Mount Pleasant serves as a major hub in this 1990s Westmoreland County landscape, where the dense settlement pattern of the borough contrasts with the scattered coal-patch towns and villages across Hempfield and East Huntingdon. Industrial legacy is etched into the terrain at Standard Shaft and Carpentertown, while the modern transportation corridor of the Pennsylvania Turnpike carves through the rolling hills near New Stanton. This era shows the region's evolution from a heavy mining and rail center toward a residential and transit-focused community.

Genealogists will find significant local landmarks including Zions Ch, the Polish Cem, and Youngwood Cem. The map tracks several small, named locales such as Weavers Old Stand, Paintersville, and Hunker, alongside educational institutions like Westmoreland Community College and Ramsay High Sch. Waterways like Sewickley Creek and Wilson Run tie together the diverse topography of townships including Unity and Bullskin.
