2023 Map of New Kensington East

About this map

Industrial riverfront towns and rolling cemetery-studded hillsides define this portion of the Allegheny River valley northeast of Pittsburgh. The densely settled neighborhoods of Tarentum, Brackenridge, and New Kensington dominate the northwest, where the Norfolk Southern line follows the riverbank past Jacks Island. This modern survey reveals a landscape deeply tied to its faith and community history, evidenced by the high concentration of burial grounds such as Beth Jacob Congregational Cem and Saint Marys Cem. Moving away from the river, the terrain rises into the townships of Lower Burrell and Plum, where institutions like the Pennsylvania State University New Kensington Campus and landmarks like Holtzhauer Lake sit among winding ridge roads. The southern portion of the map transitions into the suburban reaches of Murrysville, marked by rural crossroads like Drennen and Camp Jo-Ann.
