About this map

Donegal and the high ridges of the Laurel Highlands define this late-1960s landscape, where traditional mountain settlements meet a burgeoning outdoor recreation industry. The terrain is marked by family-named landmarks like Horners Mill and Jones Mills, alongside rural institutions such as the Donegal Sch and Mt Olive Ch. High-elevation development is evident in the presence of the White Mountain Ski Area and Hidden Valley Ski Area, contrasting with the more secluded hollows of Forbes State Forest.

Transport corridors like the Pennsylvania Turnpike and the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad navigate the complex topography, while an Old Railroad Grade traces a legacy of earlier industry. Waterways like Indian Creek and Jones Mill Run carve through the landscape, providing the drainage that once powered local mills. Genealogists will find value in the precise locations of the St Raymonds Cem and Nedrow Cem near the Salt Lick and Jefferson township lines.
