2016 Map of Valier

About this map

Mahoning Creek winds through the heart of this landscape, anchoring a network of small settlements and rural crossroads south of Punxsutawney. The map documents the persistent settlement patterns of both Jefferson and Indiana counties, where villages like Valier and Horatio serve as focal points for local history. Genealogical value is high across these hills, with sites such as the White Church, Perry Cem, and Round Top Cem marking long-established community centers. The geography is defined by numerous drainage systems including Nicely Run, Perrisville Run, and Dutch Run, which flow through the dissected plateau toward Mahoning Cr Lake. This 2016 survey captures the area's rural character, showing the distribution of homesteads and winding country roads like Hadden Run RD and Anita Oliveburg RD that connect the historic hamlets of Trade City and Frostburg.
