1967 Map of Stahlstown

About this map

Stahlstown and the small settlements of Mansville and Pleasant Grove anchor this 1967 Westmoreland County study, which highlights a landscape shaped by both agriculture and industry. The western edge is dominated by Chestnut Ridge, while the eastern portion transitions into the protected woodlands of Forbes State Forest. The local economy is represented by the Weaver Mill on Loyalhanna Creek and active Strip Mine operations, alongside local social centers like the Ligonier Country Club and Camp Wesco. Numerous small streams, including Fourmile Run and Powdermill Run, carve through the townships of Cook, Ligonier, and Donegal. Local history is preserved through the naming of rural schools like the Enoch Stahl Sch and several country cemeteries, including Snowball Cem and Porch Cem, which offer significant value for genealogical research.
