2019 Map of Vandergrift

About this map

The Kiskiminetas River carves a winding path through the heart of this landscape, separating the communities of Vandergrift and Apollo from the neighboring hills. This modern survey illustrates the dense residential and industrial footprint of the river valley, where settlements like North Vandergrift, East Vandergrift, and Oklahoma follow the water's edge. Beyond the immediate river banks, the terrain rises into the highlands of Gosser Hill and River Hill, revealing a transition to rural acreage and larger water features such as the Beaver Run Reservoir. Genealogists and local historians will find significant detail in the numerous burial sites across the quadrangle, ranging from the large Apollo-Riverview Cem and Saint Gertrude Cem to the smaller Keppel Burial Ground. The map also traces the boundary between Armstrong and Westmoreland counties, marking the jurisdictional divide that has shaped the region's development.
