2010 Map of Brownfield

About this map

Wharton Furnace and Oliphant Furnace stand as markers of the industrial heritage in this corner of Fayette County, where the landscape transitions from established settlements to the dense forests of the Quebec Run Wild Area. The map reveals a cluster of residential and industrial development in the north near Brownfield and Hutchinson, supported by a series of reservoirs including Hutchinson Reservoir Dam Number One. Moving south and east, the terrain becomes increasingly complex, characterized by deep hollows like Cave Hollow and high points such as Fulton Knob. Genealogy researchers will find several well-defined burial sites, including Little White Rock Cemetery and Visitation Cemetery near Elliottsville. The presence of the Pond View Firetower and Pondfield 2 Lookout Tower suggests a landscape managed for conservation and fire surveillance among the numerous runs and creeks that feed into Big Sandy Creek.
