About this map

The Monongahela River carves a deep valley through this corner of Western Pennsylvania, serving as a historic county line between Fayette and Washington. Riverside industrial and residential hubs like Fayette City, Roscoe, and Stockdale cling to the banks, while the Wheeling-Pitts RR follows the water’s edge. Inland, the terrain rises into a series of ridges and hollows defined by the Little Redstone Creek watershed.

Genealogists will find a high density of ancestral sites, from the Old Redstone Baptist Church Cem to smaller family plots such as the Foor Family Cem and Allen Farm Cem. The map documents a landscape where agricultural roots and coal-era settlements like Arnold City and Smock persist alongside modern recreational transformations, notably the Great Allegheny Passage Trl following the Youghiogheny River in the northeast corner near Banning.
