About this map

The Kiskiminetas River carves a tight oxbow through this industrial corridor, framing the core of Vandergrift and its numerous residential extensions. This 2013 landscape reveals a dense network of neighborhoods including Kepple Hill, Oklahoma, and East Vandergrift, illustrating the post-industrial layout of Westmoreland County. The map shows the significant footprint of the Beaver Run Reservoir to the south, a major hydrological feature that contrasts with the tightly packed street grids of Apollo and North Apollo along the riverbanks.

Tracing the transport infrastructure, the sheet highlights the transition from early river-focused settlement to modern aviation and highway reliance, featuring both Kiski Airport and the River Hill Aviation Airport. Higher elevations like Gosser Hill and the recreation areas at Vandergrift Golf Course punctuate the terrain between the river valley and the broader plateau. Local family-named landmarks and smaller hamlets such as Truxall, Bell Point, and Lambings remain identifiable as the landscape shifts toward more rural townships.
