About this map

Laurel Hill defines the eastern flank of this 1960s landscape, where the Somerset and Fayette County lines meet along the ridge. The area is marked by high-altitude plateaus and the deep drainages of Middle Creek and Laurel Run. Pockets of rural industry and community are scattered throughout the terrain, including Strip Mine operations near Metzler and the small agricultural cluster of Kingwood, which features the local Kingwood Sch.

Family and community history is anchored by landmarks like Old Bethel Ch and the Wesley Chapel near Scullton. The presence of a Covered Bridge at both Barronvale and Kings Bridge reflects the traditional infrastructure of this region before modern highway expansions. Large tracts of protected land, including Forbes State Forest and State Game Lands No 111, surround recreational sites like Cranberry Glade Lake and the Kings Mtn Country Club.
