2019 Map of Stoystown

About this map

Flight 93 National Memorial stands as a central landmark in this part of Somerset County, preserving the site of the September 11, 2001, crash. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Stonycreek River and its numerous tributaries, including Lamberts Run and Grove Run. This area transitions from the residential and recreation-focused waters of Indian Lake to the industrial history of coal mining, evidenced by the named settlement of Reading Number Three. Small communities like Stoystown, Shanksville, and Lambertsville are connected by a network of historic roads, such as Old Lincoln Hwy and Old Forbes Rd. For genealogists, the map identifies the Walker Cem near Shanksville, while local historians can trace the paths of old routes like Plank Rd and Koontztown Rd through the Glades Valley.
