1968 Map of Plumville

About this map

The county border between Armstrong Co and Indiana Co runs through this Western Pennsylvania landscape, where rural life in the late 1960s was defined by winding creeks and a growing network of gas wells. The borough of Plumville sits at the junction of several local routes, while the mining settlement of Sagamore to the southwest highlights the region's industrial heritage with a nearby Strip Mine and proximity to the North Branch of Cowanshannock Creek. Genealogists will find significant value in the numerous religious landmarks clustered near Beyer, including Sacred Heart Cem, SS Peter and Paul Cem, and St Johns Cem. The northern landscape is dominated by the Little Mahoning Creek Reservoir and the village of Smicksburg, illustrating a transition from traditional agricultural patterns to the managed water systems of the era.
