2023 Map of Slippery Rock

About this map

Slippery Rock University dominates the center of this landscape, marking a transition from the dense educational campus to a surrounding terrain defined by water and glacial history. The flow of Wolf Creek and Slippery Rock Creek dictates the placement of early industry, evidenced by a string of historic milling sites including Courtneys Mills, Christleys Mills, Doughertys Mills, and Crolls Mills. These settlements represent the early economic backbone of the region where Butler, Mercer, and Lawrence counties converge.
