2013 Map of Whitesburg

About this map

Cochrans Mills and Brick Church anchor a landscape defined by the winding waters of Crooked Cr and the northern reaches of Crooked Creek Lake. This 2013 survey reveals the rural character of Armstrong County, where small crossroads settlements like Shay, Girty, and Mateer persist along a network of historic local roads. The terrain is deeply carved by numerous runs, including Cherry Run, Pine Run, and Campbell Run, illustrating the drainage patterns that have shaped the region's agricultural and social layout for generations. While larger routes like Us-422 clip the corner near Whitesburg, the majority of the map focuses on the interior valleys where family-named landmarks like Baker Hollow and the obscure locality of Pyrra speak to the area's deep-rooted local history and genealogy.
