2010 Map of Wilpen

About this map

Wilpen and Hillsview sit at the center of this rural Westmoreland County landscape, where the foothills of the Laurel Highlands meet a network of small runs and hollows. The area's mid-20th-century character is preserved through features like Old Colony and Liberty Hall, while the industrial history of the region is subtly indicated by Coke Oven RD near Wilpen. Water resources are a dominant theme, ranging from the Bolivar Reservoir in the north to the Lathrop Reservoir in the west, fed by numerous small streams such as Hannas Run and Coolpit Run. Significant landmarks like the Bear Cave Lookout Tower overlook a terrain carved by numerous named hollows, including Pine Hollow and Dyke Hollow. The map also captures local recreation and community sites, such as the Champion Lakes Golf Course, Camp Kaufmann, and Green Mountain Cemetery, showing how the land in Ligonier Township has been managed for both public utility and private life.
