2019 Map of Kingwood

About this map

Laurel Hill Creek winds through this section of the Laurel Highlands, defining a landscape of deep hollows and high ridges along the Fayette and Somerset county line. Small residential clusters like Scullton, Barronvale, and Schweinbinzville are connected by a network of rural roads such as Scullton Rd and Kingwood Rd. The area is notably characterized by its water features, including the cascades of Cole Run Falls and the secluded Blue Hole Spring. The Potomac Heritage National Scenic Trail traverses the western high ground of Laurel Hill, following the ridgeline past Flugey Hollow. This survey captures the rural character of these Pennsylvania townships, where land use is dictated by the steep topography of features like Twins Mountain and the drainage patterns of numerous creeks such as Whipkey Run and Cranberry Glade Run. Local landmarks like Clayton Lake and Lake Pyle provide small points of interest within the broader wooded terrain.
