About this map

Meadow River carves a winding path through this corner of Fayette County, notably forming a sharp oxbow at The Loop between Nutterville and Burdette. The landscape is defined by the high elevations of Beargarden Knob and Sugargrove Knob, with the latter featuring the Sugar Grove Lookout Tower. Small, scattered communities like Corliss and Bingham are linked by a network of local routes, such as Co Rte 10/1 and River Rd.

Tracing the waterways reveals a history of movement across the terrain, including Rader Ford on the Laurel Creek and the site of the Germany School on the eastern edge of the quadrangle. The map documents a predominantly rural and forested region, where legacy settlements like Surbaugh and named geographic features such as Wallowhole Ridge and Hickory Flat mark the enduring character of the Appalachian plateau.
