1964 Map of Dawson
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The Youghiogheny River carves a deep, winding path through this portion of Fayette County, dictating the industrial and residential development of the early 1960s. The riverbanks are dominated by a heavy transportation infrastructure, where the Pittsburgh and Lake Erie RR and the Baltimore and Ohio RR mirror the water's curves, connecting riverfront towns like Dawson, Vanderbilt, and Liberty. These settlements represent the region's long-standing connection to coal and iron, evidenced by the numerous Strip Mines and the historic Alliance Furnace near Jacobs Creek.
