2019 Map of Smithton

About this map

The Youghiogheny River carves through the southwestern corner of this Westmoreland County landscape, passing the borough of Smithton and the riverside settlements of Eureka and Jacobs Creek. Further north, Sewickley Creek winds past Mill Grove, Yukon, and Waltz Mill, anchoring a network of small mining and residential communities. This contemporary survey preserves the locations of several important ancestral sites, including Sewickley Presbyterian Church Cem and Seven Dolors Catholic Cem, alongside family-named burial grounds like Errett Cem and Markle Cem. The area’s geography is defined by its industrial and social hubs, from the larger junctions at New Stanton and Madison to the smaller residential clusters of Upper Whyel and Lower Whyel. Between these settlements, the land is marked by named hollows like Dutch Hollow and Morrow Hollow, illustrating the deeply dissected terrain typical of the region's river valleys.
