2010 Map of West Middletown

About this map

West Middletown sits at the northern edge of this Washington County landscape, a region defined by the winding course of Buffalo Creek and its many tributaries. The area is marked by numerous family and community landmarks, including Mount Hope Cemetery, Hupp Cemetery, and Rogers Cemetery, which provide essential points of reference for local genealogical research. Water management and recreation are central to the terrain, evidenced by Dutch Fork Lake and Stroughton Lake, both created by significant earthen structures like the Dutch Fork Dam and Stroughton Lake Dam. The map reveals a network of hollows and ridges, such as Opossum Hollow and Polecat Hollow, where small roads like Neely School Rd and Farrar School Rd hint at the locations of former rural schoolhouses. These features, along with Noble Bridge and Camp Buffalo, illustrate a rural Pennsylvania community balanced between agricultural heritage and modern water conservation efforts.
