About this map

The historic campus of Washington and Jefferson College anchors the western edge of this landscape, where the urban street grid of Washington transitions into the dissected hills of Washington County. The geography is defined by the headwaters of Chartiers Creek and its tributaries like Chartiers Run, which carve through the terrain and dictate the paths of modern corridors and older routes alike. Clusters of development such as Boon Terrace, Meadow Lands, and Houston follow these natural valleys, showing a dense settlement pattern that has persisted for generations.

Genealogists and local historians can find significant landmarks preserved across these hills, including several prominent burial sites like Saint Johns Cem, Chartiers Hill Cem, and The Old Immaculate Conception Cem. The infrastructure of the area is further marked by the Brady Tunnel and the small, distinctively named community of Eighty Four to the east, while recreational and water management features like Lake DiCio and Maplewood Lake are scattered throughout the northern and southern reaches.
