2023 Map of Youngsville

About this map

Youngsville serves as a focal point at the confluence of Matthews Run and Brokenstraw Creek, where the valley floor widens significantly before meeting the Allegheny River corridor. The map highlights a landscape defined by industrial and agricultural history, with the Brokenstraw Airport situated in the flatlands west of town. To the southeast, the terrain rises sharply toward York Mtn, transitioning into the dense woodlands of the Allegheny National Forest. This 2023 edition documents the protected river corridor of the Allegheny Wild and Scenic River, featuring several river islands including Cruils Island and Thompsons Island within the Allegheny Islands Wilderness. Genealogists will find several burial sites preserved across the ridges and valleys, including the York Hill Cem and the Saint Marys Greek Orthodox Cem near the historic path of Old Pittsfield Rd.
