About this map

Punxsutawney serves as the focal point of this region, situated where Mahoning Creek meets several mountain runs. The landscape is dotted with several small mining and residential hamlets including Walston, Anita, and Rossiter, reflecting the area's legacy of coal and community development. Notable cultural landmarks include Gobblers Knob, located southeast of the main town center, and the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Punxsutawney Campus.

Genealogists and local historians will find a high density of burial sites across the terrain, ranging from the Cherva Agudath Achuin Hebrew Cem and Saints Peter and Paul Byzantine Cem to several family and community-named grounds like Brooks Cem and Pearce Cem. The transition from industrial infrastructure to recreation is visible in the Mahoning Shadow Trl, which follows the creek valley, and the waters of Cloe Lake.
