2014 Map of Valier

About this map

Mahoning Creek winds through the heart of this Western Pennsylvania landscape, serving as a focal point for a series of small rural communities and crossroad settlements. The area is defined by the boundary between Jefferson and Indiana counties, where the topography transitions from the high ground of Blose Hollow to the creek valleys. Many of these locales, including Valier, Fordham, and Hamilton, are situated near the waterway, while others like Oliveburg and Frostburg occupy the northern reaches along Pa-36 and Pa-536. Local history is anchored by sites of community and memory, such as the White Church and several family or parish burial grounds including Round Top Cem and Saints Peter and Paul Cem. The southern edge of the map features Trade City and Covode, highlighting the scattered nature of regional habitation near the Mahoning Cr Lake headwaters.
