About this map

The Cheat River corridor defines this borderland between Pennsylvania and West Virginia, where the waters of Cheat Lake meet a landscape shaped by early industry and settlement. The map highlights the legacy of the region's iron heritage through names like Springhill Furnace RD and the Furnace Presbyterian Church Cem. Family history is deeply rooted here, evidenced by numerous small burial grounds including the Baker Family Cem, Lyons Cem, and Fletcher Cem scattered throughout the hollows.

Transit patterns follow the rugged topography of Chestnut Ridge, with the Cheat Lake Rail-Trl tracing the eastern shore and historic crossings like Ices Ferry serving the communities of Cheat Neck and Tyrone. Extensive trail networks, such as the Clay Furnace Trl and Mont-Chateau Trail North Trl, wind through the steep terrain near Coopers Rock Lake, illustrating the area's transition from an industrial heartland to a significant recreational landscape.
