About this map

Chestnut Ridge and the Ligonier Valley define the terrain of this Westmoreland County region during the late 1960s and 1970s. The settlement of Stahlstown serves as a central hub, connected to outlying communities like Mansville and Pleasant Grove by a network of rural roads such as Hauger Road and Keffer Road. The landscape is a mix of agricultural clearings and dense woodland, much of it protected within the Forbes State Forest.

Evidence of early rural life is found at the Enoch Stahl Sch and Bethel Ch, while industrial remnants like Weaver Mill and a nearby Strip Mine speak to the local economy. Water resources are prominent, featuring the Loyalhanna Creek and the Fourmile Run Dam. The map also captures modern recreational developments, including the Ligonier Country Club and Camp Wesco, alongside the path of the Pennsylvania Turnpike cutting through the southern townships.
