About this map

Little Mahoning Creek and its many tributaries, including Beech Run, Barrett Run, and Rishell Run, define the drainage and settlement patterns of this Indiana County landscape. Small rural communities and hamlets like Rochester Mills, Savan, and Nashville are connected by a network of winding roads, while higher elevations are marked by landmarks such as Doty Roundtop, Kinter Hill, and Canoe Ridge.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several family and community burial grounds, including Frye Cemetery, Fairview Cemetery, and Rowley Cemetery. The map also captures the local water geography, from the Straight Run Lake and its dam in the northeast corner to the West Branch Cush Creek near the village of Wilgus. The density of named runs and peaks reflects a landscape long shaped by agricultural use and small-scale timber or resource extraction.
