About this map

Slickville sits at the heart of this landscape where the extraction economy meets the expanding infrastructure of Westmoreland County. The terrain is deeply marked by extensive Strip Mines and numerous Gas Wells, reflecting the region’s industrial character during the mid-20th century. Cultural hubs are clustered near old transportation routes, including the Penn Central rail line and the William Penn Highway, which passes through Delmont.

The massive Beaver-Run-Reservoir dominates the northern half of the sheet, while smaller local landmarks like Twin Valley Memorial Park Cem and the Oakford Pumping Sta provide specific points for genealogical and historical research. Smaller settlements such as Mamont, Export, and White Valley show the tight-knit community structure of the era, supported by local institutions like Poke Run Ch and Sloan Sch.
