2023 Map of Dawson

About this map

Alliance Furnace stands as a significant industrial landmark near the northern boundary of this Fayette County survey, where Jacobs Creek meets the rugged terrain of Tunnel Hill. The Youghiogheny River carves a deep, winding path through the center of the landscape, dictating the placement of historic river towns like Dawson, Layton, and Adelaide. These settlements are linked by the CSX Transportation line and the Great Allegheny Passage Trl, which follows the river's course. The map reveals a dense network of family and religious heritage sites, from the Dickerson Family Cem to the Saint John the Baptist Roman Catholic Cem. High ridges like Kilndigging Hill and Fort Hill overlook a countryside shaped by both industry and faith, evidenced by numerous churches such as the East Liberty Presbyterian Church Cem serving the communities of Vanderbilt and Dickerson Run.
