History

The maps were prepared for the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Resources in conjunction with a comprehensive planning initiative in the 1970s for improved county water systems. The majority of the maps were produced by Green International, Inc., an engineering consulting firm which was based out of Sewickley, Pa. Several maps were created by the Southwest Pennsylvania Regional Planning Commission.
