1967 Map of Stahlstown

About this map

Chestnut Ridge dominates the western landscape of this Westmoreland County region, where the steep topography gives way to the narrow valleys of Fourmile Run and Loyalhanna Creek. The 1967 survey captures a rural landscape defined by family-named roads like Keffer Road and Weaver Mill Road, connecting small clusters of settlement at Stahlstown and Mansville. Education and community life are grounded in landmarks such as the Enoch Stahl Sch and Bethel Ch, while early industry is evidenced by a Quarry and a Strip Mine near Weaver Mill. The southern edge of the map is clipped by the Pennsylvania Turnpike, representing a modern transit corridor slicing through the traditional agricultural and forested terrain of the Forbes State Forest.
