About this map

The Cheat River and Cheat Lake serve as the central geographic features for this late 1990s topographic study, marking the border between Fayette County, Pennsylvania, and Monongalia County, West Virginia. The landscape is a study in industrial and recreational transitions, showing the Power Station near the lake's northern end alongside extensive Strip Mines at Grassy Run. To the south and east, the map detail shifts toward protected lands and heritage sites, including the expansive Coopers Rock State Forest and the historical Clay Furnace.

Settlement patterns are concentrated around Cheat Neck and Tyrone, with numerous rural institutions providing rich data for genealogists. Landmarks like Fletchers Chapel, Calvary Ch, and the Donaldson Cem are precisely located among the many hollows of Chestnut Ridge. The map also captures the local educational landscape, documenting schools such as the Oak Grove Sch and Mt Pleasant Sch before further regional development.
