2016 Map of Vandergrift

About this map

The Kiskiminetas River carves a deep, winding path through this industrial heartland, serving as the primary border between Armstrong and Westmoreland counties. This landscape is defined by the tight-knit residential clusters of Vandergrift, Apollo, and Leechburg, which cling to the river's high banks and tiered topography. The map illustrates a dense network of local roads and suburban expansion, from Vandergrift Heights to Orchard Hills. Beyond the river towns, the terrain shifts to the expansive waters of the Beaver Run Reservoir in the south and smaller aviation facilities like Kiski Airport. For genealogists, several significant burial sites are meticulously documented, including the Saint Gertrude Cem, Apollo-Riverview Cem, and the older Keppel Burial Ground, providing a detailed record of the region's long-standing community roots.
