About this map

Fort Ligonier and the historic crossroads of Ligonier anchor this mapping of the Ligonier Valley, documenting the landscape as it appeared in 2010. The terrain transitions from the settled valley floor to the prominent ridges of the Laurel Highlands, featuring a mix of industrial heritage and modern recreation. Evidence of early industry remains at California Furnace and Rectors Mill, while more modern scientific and recreational pursuits are represented by the Airglow Observatory and the Laurel Mountain Ski Resort.

Genealogists and local historians can trace family ties through several mapped burial grounds, including Valley Cemetery and Penrod Cemetery. The map also captures the extensive natural resources of the area, from the waters of Loyalhanna Creek and Ligonier Township Reservoir to the protected lands of Linn Run State Park. Landmarks like Wolf Rocks and Ninety Foot Rocks define the high ground, while the Bluestone Quarry indicates the ongoing geological utility of the region.
