2010 Map of Fort Necessity

About this map

Farmington and Chalkhill anchor this high-elevation landscape in the Laurel Highlands as it appeared in 2010. The terrain is defined by a dense network of mountain streams and glades, including Meadow Run, Big Sandy Creek, and Noahs Glade, which feed a series of small mountain lakes like Deer Lake and Lake George. The map preserves the names of numerous small family cemeteries, such as Sunsetview Cemetery, Spear Cemetery, and Workman Cemetery, which offer valuable data for genealogists tracing local lineage in Wharton Township. Modern aviation is represented by Nemacolin Airport and the Hager Airstrip, while historical landmarks like Kentuck Knob and the Heritage Reservation Dam suggest the area's transition into a center for recreation and architectural significance near the turn of the 21st century.
