About this map

Fort Ligonier stands as a focal point in the northwest corner of this 2013 survey, anchoring the borough of Ligonier. The landscape transitions from the developed streets of the borough into the steep, wooded terrain of the Laurel Highlands. Significant industrial and recreational history is etched into the topography, with California Furnace and Rectors Mill marking early settlement patterns along the waterways, while the Laurel Mountain Ski Resort and Laurel Mountain Park represent the area's modern identity as a mountain destination.

Evidence of the region's geological and resource history appears in labels like Silver Mine Hollow and Wolf Rocks. The transportation network is dominated by the Lincoln Hwy, which cuts through the center of the quadrangle, passing through Laughlintown and leading toward the higher elevations of Laurel Mountain Village. Unique scientific and observation landmarks, such as the Airglow Observatory and Laurel Hill Fire Tower, are located on the high ridges near Beam Rocks.
