About this map

Fayette City and the winding Monongahela River dominate the northwestern corner of this landscape, where steep riverbanks transition into the rolling hills of the Mon Valley. The map documents a dense network of industrial-era settlements and patch towns, including Grindstone, Rowes Run, and Braznell, many of which developed around the region's historic coal and coke operations. The southern portion of the quadrangle is traversed by the National Pike, a primary artery for early westward expansion that continues to influence local transit patterns.

Genealogists will find significant value in the detailed placement of family-named hollows and cemeteries, such as Redstone Cem and Havely Cem. The terrain is marked by numerous watercourses like Little Redstone Cr and Crabapple Run, feeding into larger basins such as Star Junction Reservoir and Colonial Reservoir. From the residential streets of Belle Vernon to the athletic grounds at Seitz Field, the sheet provides a comprehensive look at the modern layout of these historic river communities.
