About this map

Beaver-Run-Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this Westmoreland County region, a massive water body that reshaped the drainage patterns of Beaver Run and its tributaries. The map reveals a transition from the industrial coal-mining activity around Slickville, marked by Strip Mine operations, to the developing residential and commercial corridors of Delmont and White Valley. This area is characterized by a dense network of country roads like Washington Road and Stotler Rd, which connect long-established rural centers such as Mamont and Trees Mills.

Genealogists will find significant value in the concentration of religious and burial sites, including the historic Poke Run Ch and its associated Poke Run Cem, as well as the Denmark Manor Cem to the south. The presence of the Conrail line and the William Penn Highway illustrates the critical transportation infrastructure that supported the local economy. From the small-scale aviation at Armitage-Mamont Airport to the pumping facilities at Oakford Pumping Sta, the map captures a landscape of diverse utility and deep-rooted community identity.
