USGS Topo · Published 1979About this map
The Youghiogheny River carves a deep, winding path through this portion of Fayette and Westmoreland counties, serving as the central artery for a landscape defined by industrial extraction and river-valley transport. Numerous Strip Mines and a prominent Mine Dump are visible throughout the terrain, particularly around the settlements of Dawson and Dickerson Run. The presence of the Alliance Furnace near Jacobs Creek points to the area's deep-rooted history in early American iron production.
