to start check out the 1941 Pendot Map

Historic County Maps

 

[jeff of pa]

from there go to 1867 Atlas of Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania
and the Donegal TWP. Map (FYI SH is probably School house)

Westmoreland County Pennsylvania Atlas, 1867

once you have checked them out go to

Penn Pilot Photo centers, and check out the 1930's, 1950's, & 1970's Arials

Penn Pilot Photo Centers

and see if you can narrow down their exact location.

this is what I do

1800 arial drawings available and numerous other maps can be found for free on the Library of Congress website. I got a 1897 one for jeannette there after almost paying $40 for it from another website.

the penn pilot maps jeff of pa mentioned are really nice for google earth overlays, I have learned alot from them though I think they only go as far back as the 40's
