About this map

The Allegheny River defines the industrial and topographic character of this 1993 revision, which captures the riverfront density of Natrona, Brackenridge, and Tarentum. This corner of the county is a landscape of transition, where the heavy industry and rail infrastructure of the Allegheny Valley Railroad meet the expanding residential hills of Lower Burrell and Natrona Heights. The inland geography is dominated by numerous Gas Wells scattered across the ridges of Upper Burrell and Washington township, illustrating the enduring energy economy of western Pennsylvania.

Key civic institutions are well-documented, including the Penn State University (New Kensington Campus) and the Alcoa Center. Smaller, established locales such as Kinlock, Milligantown, and Drennen are depicted alongside local landmarks like St Marys Ch and Greenwood Memorial Park Cemetery, providing an essential resource for tracing the evolution of family homesteads and local parish history in this densely patterned river valley.
