2019 Map of Portersville

About this map

Slippery Rock Creek Gorge dominates the central landscape of this western Pennsylvania region, where the water cuts deeply through the terrain as it flows toward the confluence of Skunk Run and Hell Run. The area's industrial and agricultural history is anchored by early mill sites such as Kennedy Mill and McConnells Mill, while the eastern portion of the map transition to the recreational waters of Lake Arthur and its many coves. This modern survey illustrates the persistent importance of local congregations, preserving the locations of numerous historic church grounds and burial sites including the Portersville Bible Church Cem and the Mountville Presbyterian Church Cem. The coexistence of the N Country National Scenic Trail and the Pleasant Hill Airport reflects a landscape that serves both backcountry hikers and local aviation in the corridor between Princeton and Portersville.
