1967 Map of Stahlstown

About this map

Chestnut Ridge dominates the western skyline of this Westmoreland County landscape, where the rural character of Cook and Donegal townships is defined by a network of winding runs and family-named roads. The village of Stahlstown serves as a central hub, situated near the Enoch Stahl Sch and the waters of Keffer Run. To the east, the terrain transitions toward the high ground of the Forbes State Forest, while the northern reaches include the Ligonier Country Club and the banks of Loyalhanna Cr. Local industry and community life are reflected in features such as the Weaver Mill and several country churches like Zion Ch and Bethel Ch. Evidence of the region's extraction history is visible in a Quarry and Strip Mine located near Weaver Mill Creek, while the Pennsylvania Turnpike cuts across the southern edge of the quadrangle, signaling the modernization of this Appalachian corridor.
