About this map

Pittsburgh International Airport dominates the northwestern corner of this landscape, marking a sharp contrast between modern infrastructure and the deeply carved valley of Montour Run. The area reflects a suburban and industrial evolution in the 21st century, where residential pockets like Coraopolis Heights and Forest Grove sit atop ridges overlooking the winding paths of Meeks Run and McClarens Run. This terrain is defined by its numerous small-scale communities and religious sites, such as the Union Presbyterian Church Cem and Holy Trinity Cem.

To the south, the landscape transitions into the historic rail and creek-side settlements along Robinson Run. Here, the close-knit proximity of Oakdale, Noblestown, and Sturgeon illustrates the early settlement patterns of western Allegheny County. Genealogists will find a wealth of data in the numerous burial grounds, including the Oakdale Old German Cem and Saint Patrick's Cem, which anchor the heritage of these valley towns.
