About this map

Oliphant Furnace and Wharton Furnace anchor this landscape, serving as enduring reminders of Fayette County's industrial heritage along the western slopes of the Allegheny Mountains. The 2013 topography reveals a complex network of narrow hollows and high ridges, including White Rock Hollow and Fulton Knob. Settlements like Hutchinson and Meadowbrook are concentrated in the north, while the southern reaches transition into the protected expanse of the Quebec Run Wild Area.

Water management is central to the area's development, evidenced by the tiered Hutchinson Reservoir Number One, Number Two, and Number Three. High-elevation vantage points such as the Pond View Firetower and Pondfield 2 Lookout Tower overlook a drainage system defined by Redstone Cr and Big Sandy Cr. In the southeast, the small community of Elliottsville sits near a historic Grist Mill, illustrating the shift from heavy iron production to a more rural, conservation-oriented landscape.
