About this map

Waynesburg serves as the focal point of this 1901 survey of Greene County, reflecting a landscape defined by an intricate network of narrow valleys and ridges. The borough layout is clearly visible at the junction of Purman Run and Tenmile Creek, while the northeastern corner shows the winding Monongahela River providing a critical transportation corridor near Rices Landing and Clarksville.

Small agricultural hamlets and crossroads like Khedive, Sycamore, and Kirby (Newtown) are connected by winding valley roads that trace the many watercourses, including Whiteley Creek and Muddy Creek. The presence of the Reed Mill schoolhouse and specific post offices such as Lippincott (Marianna P.O.) provides essential details for genealogists tracking family locations in the years before the region's massive industrial changes.
