1994 Map of Kingwood

USGS Topo · Published 1997

About this map

Laurel Hill and Laurel Ridge dominate this corner of the Somerset and Fayette county line, a landscape defined by steep drainages and large-scale public lands including Forbes State Forest and State Game Lands No 111. The topography is marked by numerous strip mines and gravel pits concentrated near Metzler and east of Kings Bridge, reflecting the region's industrial extraction history. In contrast to the heavy forest and mining tracts, small rural hubs like Kingwood provide evidence of local social foundations with the Kingwood Sch and Old Bethel Ch. A Covered Bridge on Laurel Hill creek and the remote Paterson Spring highlight the traditional Pennsylvania mountain character. The distribution of cemeteries and schools across Upper Turkeyfoot and Lower Turkeyfoot townships provides a clear record of family settlements nestled along the major water courses such as Middle Creek and Drake Run.
