About this map

Nineveh sits at a junction of valley roads and the meandering Browns Creek, serving as a central point in this rural landscape of southwestern Pennsylvania. The area's topography is defined by prominent ridges such as Beulah Ridge and Hopewell Ridge, which separate the various runs and forks of the South Fork Tenmile Creek watershed. This 2010 survey illustrates the persistence of small crossroad settlements like Deer Lick, Rutan, and Swarts, many of which developed around early post offices and local trade.

Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the naming of rural infrastructure, such as Bates Fork Cemetery and Rosemont Cemetery. The local transport network is deeply tied to the land, with numerous roads named for early schools or geographic features, including Booth School Rd, Ross School Rd, and the curiously named Devils Half Acre. Natural features like Hunters Cave and the extensive network of hollows, such as Norman Hollow Rd, reflect a terrain that dictated the layout of farms and early settlements.
