1954 Map of Fayette City

Inland from the river, the terrain rises into the rolling hills of Jefferson and Perry townships, where the character of the land shifts toward rural community life. Here, genealogists can find historical institutions such as Little Redstone Presbyterian Ch and the Marion High Sch. To the east, the Youghiogheny River forms a second major waterway, passing near the established settlement of Perryopolis, creating a rich portrait of the region's rail-and-river economy during the mid-twentieth century.
