About this map

Laurel Hill Creek winds through the heart of this Somerset County landscape, defining the topography of Lower Turkeyfoot Township. The 2016 survey illustrates a patchwork of small upland settlements and agricultural clearings, with Kingwood and Schweinbinzville serving as primary local hubs. To the north, Scullton and Barronvale sit amidst a network of rural roads, including the descriptive Covered Bridge Road.

Evidence of the area's natural resource history is found in place names like Coke Oven Hollow, while modern recreational features such as Lake Pyle, Clairton Lake, and Cranberry Glade Lake punctuate the drainage basins of Whipkey Run and Cranberry Glade Run. The terrain rises sharply toward Laurel Hill along the Fayette County border, where numerous springs and small waterfalls like Cole Run Falls originate. This map offers a detailed view of the contemporary rural character and hydrologic network of the Laurel Highlands region.
