2023 Map of Templeton

About this map

Stewardson Furnace stands as a central historical marker in this landscape where the Allegheny River and Mahoning Creek converge. The terrain is defined by the sharp meanders of Redbank Creek along the northern border, where the communities of Lawsonham, Saint Charles, and Climax follow the water's edge. This region of Armstrong County is heavily dotted with family and church burial grounds, such as Duncan Cem, Narrows Cem, and the Widnoon Methodist Cem, suggesting a long-standing pattern of rural settlement. The presence of the Redbank Valley Trl near the railroad tracks highlights the transition of old industrial corridors into modern pathways. Further south, the map reveals a network of small hamlets like Templeton, Widnoon, and Kellersburg, connected by winding roads that traverse the high ground between the river valleys and smaller tributaries like Wiskey Creek.
