About this map

The Kiskiminetas River and Conemaugh River converge at Saltsburg, a geographic focal point where the border between Indiana Co and Westmoreland Co is defined by the winding water. This area is characterized by the significant footprint of Loyalhanna Lake and its surrounding protected lands, including Loyalhanna Woodlands Number 1 and Loyalhanna Woodlands Number 2. The landscape is a network of small settlements and rural crossroads, connected by historic routes like the Old William Penn HWY.

Genealogical interest is found in the southern portion of the quadrangle near New Alexandria and Shieldsburg, where the Union Cem and Craig Cem are situated. The map documents the scattered residential clusters of Moween, Fairbanks, and White, alongside prominent terrain features such as Locust Knob. The presence of Manitto Lake and the New Alexandria Reservoir highlights the importance of water management and recreation in this part of Pennsylvania.
