2010 Map of Vandergrift

About this map

The Kiskiminetas River carves a sharp, serpentine path through this portion of Westmoreland County, anchoring the industrial and residential development of Vandergrift and Apollo. This early 21st-century landscape is defined by its densely settled riverfront heights, including Vandergrift Heights and North Apollo, which contrast with the expansive Beaver Run Reservoir to the south. Local history and genealogy are well-represented by several established burial grounds, such as Saint Gertrude Cemetery and the Apollo Cemetery. The geography reflects a mix of suburban growth and utility, where aviation at the Kiski Airport and recreation at the Vandergrift Golf Course sit alongside essential infrastructure like the Gilkerson Dam. Smaller communities like Paulton, Oklahoma, and Truxall are connected by a network of winding roads that follow the ridges above the river valley.
