2019 Map of Brownfield

About this map

Oliphant Furnace and Wharton Furnace stand as markers of the industrial heritage of Fayette County, situated along the foot of the Chestnut Ridge. This 2019 survey captures the developed corridor of Morgantown Rd alongside the rugged eastern slopes where deep hollows like White Rock Hollow and Askon Hollow drain into the valley. The map reveals a high density of small family and community burial grounds, including the Old Wynn Cem and Little White Rock Cem, providing valuable location data for genealogists. To the north, the Hutchinson Reservoir Number One system is visible near Hutchinson, while the southern reaches move into more remote terrain around Quebec Run and the heights of Brethren Summit. This balance of historic industrial sites, small rural settlements like Fairchance, and conserved natural areas reflects the evolving land use in this part of the Appalachian plateau.
