About this map

The Monongahela River winds through this region of Fayette County, serving as the industrial and geographical spine for a series of riverside settlements including Greensboro, Grays Landing, and Glassworks. In the hills above the river, the economy of the early 21st century is still marked by heavy industrial footprints, such as the Poland Mines and the extensive infrastructure around the Robena Slope Mine Dam. The landscape is densely populated with family and parish burial grounds, from the Saint Marys Cemetery near Ronco to the Alexander Cemetery and Garrison Cemetery further inland. These sites, alongside landmarks like Friendship Hill and the Greensburg Ferry crossing, reflect a deep layer of local history and genealogical significance in the river valley.
