2016 Map of Dawson
USGS Topo · Published 2016About this map
The Youghiogheny River winds through a landscape of steep hills and narrow valleys in this part of Fayette County, where several small industrial-era settlements sit along the riverbanks and rail lines. Modern mapping captures the enduring layout of towns like Vanderbilt, Dawson, and Perryopolis, which are linked by the winding path of the B & O RR. Evidence of the region’s early industrial heritage appears in labels like Alliance Furnace and Kilndigging Hill, indicating a history of resource extraction and processing.
