About this map

Sewickley Creek and its many tributaries, including Hunters Run and Painters Run, define the rolling landscape of southwestern Westmoreland County. The 1990s character of this region is shaped by the intersection of traditional crossroads settlements and major transportation corridors. The Pennsylvania Turnpike cuts through the center of the map, marked by several key access points like Interchange 25A and Interchange 25B.

Evidence of deep-rooted local history is found in the many rural religious and educational sites, such as Barren Run Ch, Glenwood Ch, and Yough Sch. Along the southwestern edge, the Youghiogheny River forms a natural boundary, with the riverfront village of Smithton and the nearby Van Meter settlement serving as focal points for the river-valley community. The map also captures specialized industry at Waltz Mill and the infrastructure of the New Stanton Corp RR near the Hempfield boundary.
