2010 Map of New Florence

About this map

Blacklick Creek and the Conemaugh River define the industrial and agricultural landscape of this Western Pennsylvania corridor. The survey highlights a series of small riverside and rail settlements, including New Florence, Seward, and Robindale Heights, many of which developed around the transportation networks of the valley. Significant infrastructure is visible along the riverbanks, notably at Conpitt Junction and the various power plants and dams that harnessed local water resources. For genealogists, the map preserves the locations of several community burial grounds such as Saint Marys Cemetery, Bethel Cemetery, and Armagh Cemetery. The presence of Sugar Run Reservoir and High Ridge Reservoir underscores the importance of water management in supporting the region's utilities and growing populations during the early twenty-first century.
